Introduction to Node.js Development

Node is an implementation of the Chrome JS runtime that can be run on the server. This means we can write fast, asynchronous code in Javascript to power our websites on both the client side and the server side. In this course, we’ll cover the basics of creating a server using Node, moving onto a useful framework called Express, looking at server-side templating, and deploying our application on Heroku. We’ll also cover the basics of the MV* architectures.
