Work with Node.js to create backends that support your frontends.

Link: https://nodejs.org/en/

Node is a Javascript runtime environment which will be used to create API’s, communicate with databases and more. In front-end traditional HTML, CSS and Javascript will be used.

The elective aims to make students understand the full stack and the classic separation of backend and frontend.

The client will retrieve data from the backend with fetch and sockets.

We will work towards larger projects.

We will work with both relational and document databases.

We will also learn how to use external services and libraries some of which include sockets.

The goal is that the student gains knowledge of:

● The Node.js ecosystem.

● A general overview of different types of databases

● Building a larger and scalable project.

● Understanding conventions which can aid working in a company as well as developing on existing Node projects.

The goal is that the student is able to use the tools listed above to develop single-page web applications.

Being able to use a set of tools to accomplish this. Using a web framework. Using the terminal and Git. The ability to take care of every part of the process. The ability to build larger and scalable projects.

The goal is that the student is able to use the listed tools and analyse and select a suitable tool for a given task within a web development context.

The objective is to enable the students to understand the backend / frontend separation and take full-responsibility of developing a full-stack application.
