Course Description

Go from beginner to advanced by building 4 Node.js applications of increasing complexity.
This course will teach you how to build web apps from the ground up while focusing on best practices. The main technologies used will be Node.js, Express.js and MongoDB.
We'll use a variety of templating engines for our frontend. This will include Swig, Angular and plain HTML.
We'll be using Mongoose throughout this course. Mongoose is a node module built on top of MongoDB to assist in creating and handling database objects.
Project 1
Getting to Know Mongoose

Familiarize yourself with Node andMongoose by building a CRUD example app.
Learn about the different data types used in Mongoose models.
Understand how to make API calls using Postman to add, update or delete documents.
Get to know important methods used to query, save and remove document properties.

Project 2
User Login App

Build a user login app consisting of a log in and success page.
Create static Express routes to connect with HTML pages.
Learn about advanced Mongoose methods for Validating input and how to use mongoose Plugins to hide password data.

Project 3
Meeting Reporting App

Use Express, Swig and Mongoose to develop an app for recording meeting notes.
Learn how to create new Notes and filter by user.

Create a RESTful API and implement using best practices.
Learn how to handle and display custom Errors.
Use the Async module and learn how to query multiple documents at the same time.

Project 4
Search Engine

MEAN-stack application built from the ground up. (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js)
Build a search engine using the Mongoose search plugin, Angular and Bootstrap.
Learn how to reference and populate documents.
Integrate Passport.js for secure Local authentication. Learn how to protect routes from non-verified users.

After taking this course you will:
* Know how to build Full-Stack applications using JavaScript throughout.
* Learn how to setup a server and routing using Express, work with various view engines like Swig, Angular and plain HTML.
* Understand how to perform CRUD operations by building useful apps to save, update and retrieve documents from a database.
* Be able to build a MEAN-stack application from the ground up.
* Understand Mongoose methods for working with schemas, plugins, validators, and data types.
Who this course is for:

This course is meant for those who already are familiar with the basics of Node.js. We will be using Express.js for routing and MongoDB as our database, so any experience using these technologies is helpful but not required.
