Welcome the
Angular 8 Real World WebApp Development with Node.js & MariaDB
course!
In this course, we’ll focus on
building a real-world web application
with the tools Angular and Node.js provide.
We will build an
SEO friendly
blog, which means we're going to use
Angular Universal
to build a
server-side rendered
front end.
In the back end, we're going to use
Node.js
for the web service, we store our data in a
MariaDB
and to map our objects with the database, we’re going to use the object-relational mapping library
Sequelize
.
And finally, we publish the whole thing on a
Windows Server
with
IISNode
.
The web application itself will be a blog that could be extended to a big news or magazine web application.
We start with displaying some articles and later on we'll build an
administration dashboard
with
authentication
(we're using
JSON Web Tokens
to be more specific) and the option to create new articles, modify them, and so on.
Let's have a deeper look at what you are going to learn in this course:
The Basic Blog
In this section, we will start with our Angular project and develop the blog, so that it will work offline - without any web service or database. In essence, you could already publish this blog if you want to add all your blog posts within your Angular app.
Meta & Open Graph Tags
As the title may already imply, here we will add meta tags and open graph tags. So the information that
search engines
and
social media platforms
need to find your blog and display your articles properly when they are shared.
Keep in mind though, that these tags won’t necessarily work if you stick with a client-side rendered Angular app. Google promised to be able to crawl client-side rendered Angular web applications, but by the experience of many blogs and developers, we are not there yet.
Apart from that, social media platforms still need proper source code or tags to scrape your site properly.
Angular Universal
A short but important section - we will implement
server-side rendering (SSR)
here. That’s what
Angular Universal
is all about. When you finished implementing server-side rendering, your tags will be available in the source of your blog and your pages will also
render much faster
.
Back end with Node.js
It’s time for the backend. We’ll create a new project, the web service with
Node.js
. Now the articles will come from the web service.
Database & ORM with MariaDB & Sequelize
We expand the web service and finally connect our web application with a database so that the articles are now
stored in a MariaDB
. Additionally, we will use Sequelize for the
object relational mapping
between our models and the database tables.
Administration Dashboard
In essence, the blog works with all layers. We have the client, the web service and the database. But adding new articles and modifying them is a bit cumbersome. So let’s add an administration panel where we get an overview of all articles and where we can create, update and delete them - this means, building all
CRUD operations
.
Authentication
The administration dashboard works, but until now, everybody could use it. In this section, we change that by adding authentication with
JSON web tokens
. Also, we’re going to introduce Angular
interceptors
,
route guards
and a small
middleware
.
IISNode
Finally, we are able to deploy our blog. In this section, you’re going to learn how to build and
publish the Angular Universal client
and the Node web service on a Windows Server with Internet Information Services.
What tools are we using?
All the tools we're going to use in this course are available for free.
Visual Studio Code
- A source-code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. We will use this code editor for the Angular client application as well as the Node.js web service.
HeidiSQL
- A free and open-source administration tool we will use and install together with MariaDB. It's perfectly suited to see the data we're going to store in the database.
Postman
- A greate choice for API testing. Later during this course, we will use Postman to run API calls against the Node.js web service.
Google Chrome
- It's not necessary to use Google Chrome, any web browser with developer tools is useful here. We're going to use the developer tools for its console output and inspecting the HTML of our web application.
Git
- This one's totally optional. I recommend using Git as source control. You can use it locally or push your code to a hoster like GitHub. The complete code written in this course is available on GitHub, for instance.

Quick and useful course getting someone upto speed on WCF RESTful services. I like this course as the instructor Patrick just gets to the crux of the topics without padding with unnecessary discussions. When people are limited by time to spend on a course, this is the kind of course that is ideally looked up to. Very good course! Thank you!

Love the way you go through each step one short video at a time - makes it more rewarding and easier to digest and break down if need be. Also appreciate your thorough responses to others' questions! Great job, I look forward to seeing more videos like this because I am learning a ton from you! Thank for all of your hard work and dedication!

Single Page Application (SPA) has become a very important requirement for web application projects. This course has given me a very good example on how to create a "SPA". The whole process is covered since creating the project, the HTML page, the detailed creation of each file til its deployment. Very good. I recommend it for systems analysts who are starting to use this concept of SPA, just like me. If something in your solution does not work it's because you're doing something wrong. Everything works fine, the instructor is clear and gives us good and complete information. For me, the course was excellent.
