Overview
Node.js is an open source Javascript runtime environment. Express is a backend web application framework. MongoDB is a scalable document database. Combining Node.js, Express, and MongoDB provides a powerful set of features for building web applications or REST APIs.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use and integrate Node.js, Express, and MongoDB to build fast and scalable REST APIs.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Set up and integrate Node.js and Express with MongoDB.
- Understand the features and architecture of Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
- Learn how to build RESTful APIs using the Node.js, Express, and MongoDB backend stack.
- Implement routes, filtering, sorting, and pagination to Node.js REST APIs.
- Design data models and perform CRUD operations with MongoDB and Mongoose.
- Test and debug APIs with Postman.
