About This Course
Learn to create Node.js API backend services REST/JSON for mobile/web, host on your own Linux server
Learn
the basic concepts of API's to include HTTP based REST with JSON
payloads. Learn how to create a working system with Node.js using the Express.js framework. Learn how
to create an API that connects to MongoDB. We walk thru creating some
simple API's and follow thru with deployment onto a
server. This development is presented on a Mac OSX with Node.js 4 and
deployed on a Linux server in a cloud environment (Amazon EC2).
Build
a strong foundation in API development with Node.js. This course helps you
understand and implement API's using Node.js, Express.js and MongoDB technologies to allow you to create your own back end server with the
latest technologies.
Javascript
Node.js 4.x
NPM
Express
MongoDB
Linux
Professional skills and experience from an iOS / Node.js Architect with over 8 years experience.
Learn
the fundamentals but also tips and tricks of the experts. Learn about
the different type of API end points and how to create a full end to end solution.
We will walk thru the project setup and
all required elements to create a full end to end API server.
Content and Overview
This
course explains key technology concepts of API's with REST and JSON
technology in a Node.js system. We show development from start to finish to
include deployment on a live production server not just a test machine.
What am I going to get from this course?
Detailed knowledge of how to create Node.js / Express.js based REST/JSON API's
Learn how to use MongoDB as the back end for API's.
Teaching
by example showing every detail to the
smallest degree from starting a new application to deploying it in production.
Access to Instructors GitHub account with many extras and examples.
If you don't have a a production server device don't worry, we show you how to test everything on your local computer.
Note: Development is all described on a Mac OSX notebook, Windows is
not address. Node.js using JavaScript is a portable language and all the tools described in
this class are available on other systems as well but no intention is made to
describe how to setup them up of use the Windows or Linux versions.
Students will be able to create a Nodejs based API end point.
Students will understand technology for API's, REST, JSON and how to integrate into a Nodejs server.
Students will understand how to create an API that connects with MongoDB

Terrible. Wasted all my time Googling for quick fixes which depended on different package versions and new packages and so on. This is supposed to be for "learning" NodeJS APIs, and is therefore completely unsuitable for that purpose today and is in desperate need of updating.
