This course includes 1 modules, 3 lessons, and 2:15 hours of materials.
This lesson introduces students to Node.js, explaining what it is, why it's used, and its fundamental architecture. Students will learn how to set up their development environment, execute their first Node.js script, and grasp core concepts like the Event Loop and asynchronous programming with callbacks. By the end, students will have a solid foundational understanding of Node.js's purpose and operational model.
Building upon the basics, this lesson delves into the modular nature of Node.js. Students will learn how to create and use local modules, explore essential built-in core modules (like 'fs' and 'path'), and understand how to manage third-party packages using npm. A significant portion will focus on practical file system operations, enabling students to read, write, and manipulate files both synchronously and asynchronously.
This lesson introduces students to the fundamental concepts of web servers and how to build them using Node.js's built-in 'http' module. Students will learn to create a simple HTTP server, handle incoming requests, send responses, and implement basic routing. The lesson will also cover serving static files and introduce tools like 'nodemon' for efficient development, laying the groundwork for more complex web applications.
