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

## We made this happen together

Congratulations, we’ve reached the end of the Introduction to Node.js course! We’ve covered the basics of Node.js in this course and created multiple projects.

## Taking your game further

We have some ideas for the successive headways!

- Implement support for multiple and concurrent channels. Currently, our game logic works properly for one active channel at a time, even though the players can join various channels.
- Implement an automated scoring system. Create a scoreboard that keeps track of players’ scores. Declare a winner or tie after a certain number of rounds or when a certain score is reached in the game.
- Set a time limit within which players must submit an answer or forfeit their round.
- Allow players to select an answer rather than type it. Validate the answer before scoring.
- Improve and centralize error handling within the application.
