Requirements
- Basic programming concepts (variables, arrays, loops, etc) and an understanding of beginner JavaScript
DescriptionSince its introduction in 2009, Node JS has taken the web development world by storm. With a JavaScript based runtime, Node has made it possible to develop both the front end and backend using one primary language. Express JS is the industry standard web framework for Node development and in this tutorial, we create a polished portfolio website using both Node and Express. As we create the site, we explore the key parts of a professional Node/Express website and how each piece works together. We also leverage a local persistent data storage system so our site can store data, upload images, and more. Throughout this tutorial, we cover:
- Project Structure
- Templating Engine
- Request Routing
- REST API
- CRUD operations
- File uploading
- CMS for blogs and projects
- AJAX with jQuery
This series is perfect for those looking to break into professional web development as a full stack developer. If you have been studying on your own for a few months by going through tutorials on Udemy, YouTube and more, this series ties together concept from several beginner areas (such as jQuery) to create a beautiful, professional portfolio site. And when you're done - you will have a portfolio!
Who this course is for:
- Aspiring web developers who have learned the basics but need to tie several concepts together into a full functional website.
