Learn to build fast, scalable, and secure backend applications using Node.js and Express.js — the most popular runtime and framework for server-side JavaScript development. This course is designed to teach you how to create RESTful APIs, handle server-side logic, connect with databases like MongoDB or MySQL, and build real-world backend systems.

You’ll master routing, middleware, authentication, environment configuration, and error handling — all while working on hands-on projects such as user authentication systems, CRUD APIs, and file uploads.

You’ll also explore best practices for folder structure, versioning, and performance optimization. Whether you’re a frontend developer expanding into full-stack or a beginner aiming to become a backend pro, this course will give you the tools and confidence to develop production-ready server applications using JavaScript.

Prior knowledge of basic JavaScript is recommended, but no backend experience is required.
