Goals

  • What is Node.js and how it works
  • Module systems in Node.js
  • Writing HTTP Servers
  • ESM and the future of Node

Description

Node.js is a runtime for JavaScript, which can run on servers. It is super helpful as a frontend developer to be able to write in a same language on backend too - probably the quickest way to become a full-stack engineer too as a lot of knowledge is transferable.

In this course, we'll cover fundamentals of Node.js (there's a separate course for JavaScript), and get started with a few things very specific to Node itself. Let's start!
