About

Node.js is a popular choice for teams design, build, test, deploy, maintain, and monitor large-scale distributed systems. It is primarily a scalable platform based upon JavaScript, used to develop web applications and network programs on the server side.

The course begins with the basics of Node.js, with all the required steps to install the framework. It moves on to exploring the module system in Node.js. It then sets out to help you set up your own HTTP server using Express.

Once you’re familiar with the basics, you embark on non-stop journey of creating different applications. You start with Socket.IO. Then, you learn how to adopt Redis for application data.

Having reached so far, you moving on to building a Twitter-like application using the MVC design pattern. Finally, you’ll be equipped to build complex projects such as consumer feedback app and building a frontend process.

By the end of this course, you’ll be a skilled Node.js developer.

Sandro Pasquali

Sandro Pasquali formed a technology company named Simple in 1997, that sold the world's first JavaScript-based application development framework and was awarded several patents for deployment and advertising technologies that anticipated the future of Internet-based software. Node represents, for him, the natural next step in the inexorable march towards the day when JavaScript powers nearly every level of software development.

Sandro has led the design of enterprise-grade applications for some of the largest companies in the world, including Nintendo, Major League Baseball, Bang and Olufsen, LimeWire, AppNexus, Conde Nast, and others. He has displayed interactive media exhibits during the Venice Biennial, won design awards, built knowledge management tools for research institutes and schools, and started and run several start-ups. Always seeking new ways to blend design excellence and technical innovation, he has made significant contributions across all levels of software architecture, from data management and storage tools to innovative user interfaces and frameworks.

He is the author of Deploying Node.js, also by Packt Publishing, which aims to help developers get their work in front of others.

Sandro runs a software development company in New York and trains corporate development teams interested in using Node and JavaScript to improve their products. He spends the rest of his time entertaining his beautiful daughter, and his wife.
