By coding along with us in the Workshop, you'll:
Learn how to take advange of node and build awesome API's, leverage opensource modules and plugins. Learn how to connect our api to a mongo database for easy and flexible storage. After this workshop, you'll know how to design, implement, test, and deploy an api with Node, Express and MongoDB. First, we'll jump right into node and talk a little about what it really is and why you should use it. We'll cover how to config and install modules with npm. Next, we'll jump into express and how to design and implement a RESTful api. We'll cover routing, controllers, and models and how to hook them up. We'll get into using middleware and how to properly test our code. Finally, we'll get into advanced data modeling with mongoose and mongo. Also, unique routing and api protection. We'll get into realtime systems with socket.io. We'll also get into deploying our API and the best practices involved with that.
We've already held over 300 workshops with thousands of attendees in-person and online. In this time we've discovered ways to schedule the day, so it goes smoothly and efficiently. Regardless if you're in-person or participating with us online you'll have the full ability to replay things you missed, get your questions answered LIVE and interact with the teacher throughout the day.
This workshop is optimised for anyone who knows JavaScript and has little to none experience developing api's with or without node.
