Node.js uses JavaScript - a language known to millions of developers worldwide - thus giving it a much lower learning curve even for complete beginners. Using Node.js you can build simple Command Line programs or complex enterprise level web applications with equal ease. Node.js is an event-driven, server-side, asynchronous development platform with lightning speed execution. Node.js helps you to code the most complex functionalities in just a few lines of code.

This course is designed for professionals who aspire to be application developers and gain expertise in building real-time, highly-scalable applications in Node.js. The following professionals can go for this course : 

1. Web Developers 

2. Project Managers 

3. Software Architects 

4. Testing Professionals

The pre-requisites for Node.js include good knowledge of JavaScript and HTML/HTML 5. In case you wish to brush-up your skills, Certhippo offers you a complimentary pre-recorded course: "JavaScript Essentials for Mastering Node.js".

Any computer system with atleast 4GB of RAM and a decent HDD will do with the latest Windows, Linux or Mac OS. Certhippo will help you setup the required software. You will need the Brackets IDE in order to code JS. You will also need the Node.js, MongoDB and Redis Installers to be downloaded. All the required softwares are open source. The detailed step by step installation guides will be present in your LMS which will help you to install and setup for the course.

To execute the practicals you will require environment for Node.js and MongoDB. The detailed step by step installation guides will be present in your LMS which will help you to install and set-up the required environment. In case you come across any doubt, the 24*7 support team will promptly assist you

Towards the end of the Course, you will be working on live projects: 

Project 1: 

LeaveTheMarks Application http://www.leavethemarks.org  Project Description: LeaveTheMarks is a story sharing application where users share their stories. This application have the following features :- 

1. Unregistered users will be able to create accounts 

2. Registered users will be required to login to create a story, once login user can logout 

3. A user is not required to login to read the stories 

4. To leave comments on a story user will be required to Login 

5. Application uses MongoDB to store authentication details (username, password, email) and user stories 

6. Passwords are encrypted using bcrypt before storing them into MongoDB 

7. User session is maintained once a user login 

8. Application is deployed on Heroku and we set a custom domain for our Heroku app 

9. Application uses Express framework and EJS template engine 

10. Note that we use MongLab provided hosted MongoDB as our database in production 

Project 2: 

Socket IO Realtime Chat Application  https://awesome-socket-io.herokuapp.com Project Description: We will build a realtime chat application using Socket IO. This application have the following features :- 

1. To join the chatroom you just require a shortname 

2. If a shortname is already taken by an another user an error message is shown 

3. Once a user joins a chatroom, user can broadcast messages to all the users that are currently logged in 

4. Rather than broadcasting message to all the users, a user can also send a private message to a single user 

5. If you try to send a private message to a user that is not currently online you will get an error message 

6. Once a user joins the chatroom, the user can see all the users that are currently online 

7. All the messages that a user sends are displayed on the chat window, note that private messages are displayed in a different way than broadcast messages 

8. Note that we don't store chat messages into database so if a user reloads the application previous messages will not be shown 

9. Chat messages are stored in sockets. 

Project 3: 

iLoveMyCity Application https://ilovemycity-ejs.herokuapp.com  using EJS template engine Project Description: We will build a simple website with Express framework using EJS template engine. This application have the following features :-

2. How many pictures to show, is controlled by the data passed to views 

3. The common code is separated into EJS partials to allow code re-usability 

4. EJS partials are included in EJS views 

Project 4:

iLoveMyCity Application  http://ilovemycity-jade.herokuapp.com using Jade template engine Project Description: We build the same iLoveMyCity application with Express framework using Jade template engine. This application have the following features :- 

1. Describes a city in a few pictures 

2. Uses Jade template engine to create views 

3. The common code is separated into Jade partials to allow code re-usability
