Course Overview
Node.js & Backend Development is designed for learners who want to build robust and scalable server-side applications. This mentor-led course focuses on practical scenarios, enabling participants to understand how modern backend systems are structured, secured, and deployed.
Participants will work with Node.js fundamentals and the Express framework to design RESTful APIs, handle middleware, and implement authentication using JWT. The course also includes database integration and covers essential production practices required for real-world backend development.
