Understanding Backend JavaScript with Node.js Web Development

1. Course Introduction

The JavaScript language is also widely used in back-end through Node.js.

This course covers the core features of Node.js, how JavaScript works on the backend, and the core backend elements required for developing complex applications (SPAs) like Angular and React. In SPA (Single Page Application) development, template manipulation and routing are often shared between the client and backend. The backend is often primarily responsible for providing a RESTful API.

In this trend, Node.js can be considered a fairly suitable backend technology. Therefore, it's crucial to understand the essential backend technologies required for SPA development and how they interact with the client. This course covers knowledge and techniques that are useful for front-end developers, even if they aren't full-stack developers. This course will help you gain a deeper understanding of how web applications work.
