Built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js is a runtime environment that enables JavaScript to run outside the browser. This course will help you learn the fundamentals of Node.js to build portable applications.

You’ll learn about the components and build patterns of Node.js. You’ll also explore the API to learn how to create modules and write code to unique data files. Moreover, you’ll delve into the features and practices of JavaScript and build a REST API using the Express framework from scratch. This will set up authentication tokens with Passport.js and JSON web tokens, and finally build a live trivia game with Socket.IO.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the extensive knowledge to build rich and comprehensive Node.js applications running on the server with JavaScript.

Learn Node.js from Scratch

By the end of this course, we’ll be able to do the following:

- Use Node.js to build server-side JavaScript applications.
- Deepen our JavaScript knowledge to build better applications.
- Build web applications with Express and <t>Socket.IO</t>
- Use Node Package Manager (npm) to manage, build, and publish packages.

## Prerequisites

An intermediate level of JavaScript knowledge is needed for this course.

## Why Node.js?


Node.js has gained popularity in the industry for the many services it provides. Many big companies, such as Netflix, Uber, Paypal, Microsoft, and more, are using Node.js. It’s a popular choice for building microservice-oriented architectures.




Node.js is light, scalable, and fast. It uses a single-threaded non-blocking I/O model capable of processing multiple concurrent requests using asynchronous request handling. We’ll be expanding on these concepts as the course continues.Today, Node.js is supported by a large and active open-source community. Node Package Manager (npm) is the largest software registry in the world, hosting more than one million free open-source packages. Eleven million developers worldwide rely on npm’s publicly available and reusable modules.

Some of the most valuable npm modules today include [Express.js](http://expressjs.com/) and [Socket.io](https://socket.io/), which we'll explore in this course.

Node.js is light, scalable, & fast. As a result, it is quickly gaining popularity in the industry. There is a large, active open-source community supporting the ecosystem.
