Learn essential creational and structural patterns to help solve common coding challenges.
Learn advanced techniques for asynchronous programming.
Better use asynchronous patterns such as callbacks, promises, and async/await.
Minimize backpressure in data transmission using Node JS Streams.
Learn how to fork your Node JS processes and work with clusters with PM2.
Learn how to set up horizontal partitioning to split data between databases.

Requirements
Basic experience with programming in NodeJS

Description
Hi, and welcome to this crash course on advanced Node.js concepts!
This course is designed to introduce you to more advanced topics in Node.js, including
internals, streams, design patterns, and scalability
. It's called a "crash course" because it cuts out unnecessary fluff, avoiding long-winded projects full of configurations and third-party libraries that quickly become outdated. Instead, you’ll find
concise, focused lessons
that help you level up your Node.js skills and deepen your understanding of the Node.js environment.
This course is divided into three main modules:
1. Advanced Asynchronous Programming and Data Streaming:
In the first module, you’ll learn advanced techniques for managing asynchronous programming and data streaming in Node.js. We’ll cover
asynchronous patterns
such as callbacks, promises, and async/await, and how to apply them for sequential, parallel, and concurrent execution. Additionally,
we’ll dive into streams
, a vital feature for efficiently reading and writing data in Node.js applications.
2. Design Patterns:
The second module focuses on design patterns. You’ll learn how to implement well-known
creational and structural design patterns
from Java and C++ in Node.js and JavaScript. These patterns will help you solve common coding challenges while adhering to best practices to ensure your solutions are consistent, complete, and maintainable.
3. Scaling Node.js Applications:
In the final module, we’ll explore the fundamental concepts for scaling your Node.js applications. You’ll learn how to
fork
Node.js processes, work with
clusters
, and use tools like PM2 to achieve
zero-downtime
deployments, all of which will prepare your applications to handle higher loads and scale effectively.
Note
: Several additional modules and sections will be added to the course in the coming weeks.
Who this course is for:
Developers interested in improving their NodeJS coding skills
Technical interview candidates looking to review the most important concepts in Node JS.
