Node.js & Express
Node.js & Express is an intermediate, 9-week course for developers who already know JavaScript, promises and HTTP. It teaches building an Express API that validates requests, keeps the event loop free, orders middleware around trust boundaries, and maps async failures into stable outcomes, culminating in an enrollment API project with validation and idempotency.
Build an Express API that validates requests, handles asynchronous failures and separates HTTP transport from business logic.
