Master the standard Node-RED palette and learn how the built-in nodes are used to create practical, structured flows. This course focuses on the core nodes supplied with Node-RED and walks through them in a clear order, helping you understand what each palette section is for and how messages move through a flow.

You will work through the Common, Function, Network, Sequence, Parser, and Storage sections of the palette.

Along the way, you will learn how to inject and inspect messages, handle status and errors, write and route logic, work with timing nodes, connect to common network protocols, process grouped data, parse common data formats, and read from or write to files.

The course is designed for learners who want a solid foundation in Node-RED without relying on random examples or disconnected snippets. By the end, you will have a much clearer understanding of the standard nodes, how they fit together, and what kinds of tasks they are intended to solve.

This makes the course a strong starting point for automation engineers, developers, and technical problem-solvers who want to use Node-RED for data handling, integrations, lightweight utilities, and flow-based automation. It is a practical introduction to the standard Node-RED toolkit and the jobs it is built to handle.

This course focuses on each node individually, as well as cases where they are used with other nodes for functionality, providing the best spring board start you need for getting to grips with Node-RED.
