Course Description

Advanced Backend Development with Node.js, Express and MongoDB is an industry-oriented program focused on building scalable, secure, and production-ready backend systems. The course begins with essential JavaScript concepts for server-side development, followed by hands-on experience with the Node.js runtime and its core modules. Learners will develop RESTful APIs using Express.js, covering routing, middleware, validation, and error handling, along with structured application design. The course includes implementation of authentication and security mechanisms such as JWT, role-based access control (RBAC), sessions, and an introduction to OAuth. Students will integrate MongoDB using Mongoose for efficient data modeling and database operations. Advanced topics such as pagination, filtering, real-time communication using Socket.IO, and API testing are also covered. The program also introduces integration of external services, including demonstration of AI-based APIs, to extend backend capabilities. Finally, learners will gain experience with environment configuration, version control using Git and GitHub, and deploying applications on cloud platforms.
