Learn Node.js

Where the course sits

This course looks at the back end of a web application, the part that handles data, logic and requests out of the user's sight. It then focuses on Node.js, the JavaScript runtime that lets that server-side code run outside the browser.

Why the framing matters

Understanding the components first makes the runtime easier to place. A learner who knows where a server sits in the overall request path can make better decisions about what Node should handle and what belongs elsewhere.

Who it suits

• Learners with some JavaScript who want to move to the server
• Intermediate learners who need a clear map of back-end parts

Treat it as a starting point before moving on to Express and API work, where the same ideas show up in concrete code.
