About

Learn from Node.js experts. This is the only Node JS tutorial + projects course you need to learn Node, build advanced large-scale applications from scratch & get hired as a Backend Developer in 2021. Go from Zero To Node Mastery.

Course Details

We guarantee you that this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date Node JS tutorial + projects course that you can find. You will learn Node from scratch, build your own professional Node.js apps and get hired as a Node.js Backend Developer in 2021!

This Node course is focused on efficiency. Never spend time on confusing, out-of-date, incomplete tutorials anymore. Instead, we'll push you beyond the basics so that you can build professional, modern apps using the latest version of Node and become a Backend or Fullstack Developer.

Graduates of Zero To Mastery are now working at Google, Tesla, Amazon, Apple, IBM, JP Morgan, Facebook, Shopify + other top tech companies. This could be you.

By enrolling today, you’ll also get to join our exclusive live online community classroom to learn alongside thousands of students, alumni, mentors, TAs and Instructors. Most importantly, you will be learning from industry experts that have actual real-world experience working with Node.js and building large-scale apps for companies in Toronto And Silicon Valley.

This project based Node course will introduce you to all of the modern toolchain of a Node JS developer in 2021. Along the way, you will build a massive NASA Space launch application using Node.js, Express Framework, RESTful APIs (including the SpaceX API), GraphQL, and much more. This is a large, fullstack MERN stack project.

All code is going to be provided step-by-step and even if you don’t like to code along, you will get access to the the full master project code so when you join the Zero To Mastery Academy, you will have a professional project to put on your portfolio right away.

The curriculum is very hands on as we guide you from start to finish of releasing a professional (performant and secure) Node project all the way into production.

However, we will start from the very beginning by teaching you Node basics and fundamentals. We then dive into advanced topics so you can make good decisions on architecture and tools on any of your future Node.js projects.

Finally, this course will be constantly evolving and updating as the landscape changes. Just as the Node ecosystem evolves, this course will also constantly evolve and be updated with new lectures and resources for you. Come back to this course anytime you want to review the absolute latest Node best practices.

In this course you will learn:

• Build enterprise-level Node applications and deploy to the cloud (AWS)
• Lead Node JS projects by making good architecture decisions and helping others on your team
• Work with real-life data and the SpaceX API to build a NASA launch system to discover new planets that may contain life + other projects
