Course Overview

This MasterClass focuses on the back-end development that powers the functionality of web applications. Participants will learn to set up and manage servers, work with databases, and create secure APIs that can handle large-scale requests. The course is ideal for those looking to gain expertise in back-end technologies, including Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and MySQL, through real-world projects that bring theoretical concepts to life.

Course Outcome

By the end of the 4-week MasterClass, participants will:
1. Set up and manage a server using Node.js and Express.
2. Create RESTful APIs and connect them to databases (SQL and NoSQL).
3. Work with databases like MongoDB and MySQL to store and retrieve data efficiently.
4. Understand the principles of authentication, authorization, and security best practices.
5. Handle user sessions and manage state in back-end applications.
6. Optimize server performance and handle large-scale applications.
7. Deploy fully functional back-end applications to production environments like Heroku or AWS.

Participants will receive a certificate of completion upon successfully finishing the course. The course is ideal for anyone looking to specialize in back-end web development, whether you are new to programming or looking to expand your skill set. All learning materials, project templates, and tools will be provided. The capstone project will provide students with the opportunity to apply all they’ve learned to a real-world application.
