Overview

This course covers everything server-side. The entire course is built on the NodeJS platform. We’ll start with an overview of the HTTP and HTTPS Web protocols. For creating web servers, we look at NodeJS and NodeJS modules: Express. On the database side, we go through CRUD operations, NoSQL databases, and MongoDB and Mongoose for NodeJS access to MongoDB. We look at REST fundamentals and how to create a RESTful API. Authentication and security are discussed. Finally, we look at the backend as a service (BaaS) approaches, such as mobile BaaS, as well as open-source and commercial BaaS services.

Curriculum

You will be able to demonstrate an understanding of server-side principles, such as CRUD and REST, by the end of this course. – Create and set up a NodeJS backend server – Create a RESTful API for the front-end to access backend services.

Data, Data, Where art Thou Data? This module looks in detail at data storage with MongoDB, the popular NoSQL database. You will learn first about an Express generator for scaffolding an Express application. Then you will learn about MongoDB. You will learn how to interact with MongoDB from a Node application. Then you will learn the Mongoose ODM to create schemas and models and interact with the MongoDB server.

Halt! Who goes there? This module is dedicated to user authentication. We first develop a full-fledged REST API server with Express, Mongo, and Mongoose. Thereafter we examine basic authentication and session-based authentication briefly. We then develop token-based authentication with the support of JSON web tokens and the Passport module.
