This repository is dedicated for a course which I took Server-side Development with NodeJS, Express and MongoDB The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from Coursera.org
About the course This course deals with all things server-side. We base the entire course around the NodeJS platform. We start with a brief overview of the Web protocols: HTTP and HTTPS. We examine NodeJS and NodeJS modules: Express for building web servers. On the database side, we review basic CRUD operations, NoSQL databases, in particular MongoDB and Mongoose for accessing MongoDB from NodeJS. We examine the REST concepts and building a RESTful API. We touch upon authentication and security. Finally we review backend as a service (BaaS) approaches, including mobile BaaS, both open-source and commercial BaaS services.
I have learnt from the course
- Demonstrate an understanding of server-side concepts, CRUD and REST
- Build and configure a backend server using NodeJS framework
- Build a RESTful API for the front-end to access backend services
I would like to say great thanks for Instructor Jogesh K. Muppala Associate Professor Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Coursera Organizators...
