Node.js Backend Learning Paths

Node.js

A JavaScript runtime environment for building server-side applications.

Key Features: Asynchronous programming, event-driven, large ecosystem.

Basic Concepts

Understanding Node.js requires familiarity with JavaScript, ES6+, and Node.js's event loop.

  • Modules: Node.js provides modules for common tasks like HTTP, database, and more.
  • Events: Node.js is event-driven, meaning it responds to events like incoming HTTP requests.
  • Promises & Async/Await: Essential for managing asynchronous operations.

Projects

Start with simple projects like a REST API or a command-line tool.

Begin with a simple command-line tool like a to-do list.

Deployment

Deploy your Node.js applications to platforms like Heroku or AWS.
