Scott is the creator of AngularClass and a Sr. Frontend engineer at Udacity where he uses angular everyday. Before Udacity, Scott built and taught curriculum surrounding topics like angular, node, and mobile, to hundreds of engineers at Hack Reactor. He has years of building smooth and beautiful UI’s both on web and mobile. Most of his time is spent iterating on better and more effective ways to educate engineers on new and modern tech. He’s also a father and a gym bum.
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.

You’re getting access to some of the brightest, most highly sought after experts in the world, covering topics very few people discuss in detail. Many attendees report learning more in this full day workshop than they did about a particular topics in the past 1-2 years combined.
Combine that with access to thousands of unique, high quality videos in our membership area with 500 hours of in-depth training from world renowned experts and you’ll see why this is a bargain.
We get a lot of people saying they are scared to join… until it was over. Then they brag about how much of an amazing value they got for the price.
You’re also getting videos of the workshop, plus ALL other workshops we’ve recorded, instantly!
This workshop is optimised for anyone who knows JavaScript and has little to none experience developing api’s with or without node.
Prerequisites
You’ll need to know JavaScript. That is the only requirement. If you have never built a server before, you will do fine. However, we will not get into detail on the intricacies on how a server works internally.
Our attendees are ecstatic by the high-quality, relevant content they receive at these workshops.
We cover everything in explicit detail (and the things we miss are covered by answers to YOUR questions) from basic to advanced tactics you can start working with the very same day. We don't want you to miss out on this opportunity because you've been to less-than-stellar workshops in the past. We promise you, ours are very unique.
That's why if you attend the workshop and aren't absolutely thrilled with the content… if you don't think it's worth the admission price… We refuse to accept your money. We will more than gladly issue you a full refund, so you risk nothing.
We're very specific about what you're getting here and have ran lots of workshops… so we've almost never have requests for refunds (99.8% satisfaction rate).

"Superb presentation from a genuine domain expert. I learned a ton today."
"Keep up the good work. I've attended a lot of online workshops, and they are very shallow and unpractical. Most of the time, online people are treated as second class, but still paying citizens. Here we get all the content and get to participate as well (if only there was a way to get those cookies...)."
"The class was great. It was really cool to get a bunch of links to example code to look at during the presentation and after the class."
"Good location and facility. Great technology for capture, presentation layout and video streaming. Really excellent being able to view the videos afterwards. It takes away the sense of having to absorb everything immediately or else lose it into the ether. It was fun. What more can you ask for?"
"Really well run...loved the communication pre-event. Very impressed with everything...this was my first online conference purchase, but I would definitely consider doing it again."
"I really enjoyed the online workshop experience. It is much better than just watching videos. I was able to participate in the conversations and benefit from other folks' questions."
"You guys did a really great job! I cannot say enough good things about the experience."
"Everything was first class: excellent instructor, material, video, moderator, audio. Thank you!"
