NodeJS is a rapidy growing web server technology, and Node developers are among the highest paid in the industry. Knowing NodeJS well will get you a job or improve your current one by enabling you to build high quality, robust web applications.
In this course you will gain a deep understanding of Node, learn how NodeJS works under the hood, and how that knowledge helps you avoid common pitfalls and drastically improve your ability to debug problems.
In this course we’ll look at how the C++ written V8 Javascript engine works and how NodeJS uses it to expand the abilities of Javascript. You’ll learn how to structure your code for reuse and to be easier to understand, manage, and expand using modules and understand how modules really work.
You’ll learn how asynchronous code works in Node and the Node event loop, as well as how to use the event emitter, streams, buffers, pipes, and work with files. We’ll see how that leads to building a web server in Node.
We’ll dive into web sites, web apps and APIs with Express and learn how Express can save us time as Node developers.
You’ll also gain an understanding of npm, connecting to databases, and the MEAN stack!
During it all you’ll gain a deep understanding of the Javascript concepts and other computer science concepts that power Node.
NodeJS doesn’t have to be hard to learn. The biggest mistake most coding tutorials make is expecting someone to learn simply by imitating others’ code. Real world situations are never exactly like the tutorial.
I believe the best way to learn is to understand how a tool works and what it does for you, look at examples, and then try it yourself. That’s how this course is built, with the goal to help you both learn and understand NodeJS.
Note: In this course you’ll also get downloadable source code. You will often be provided with ‘starter’ code, giving you the base for you to start writing your code, and ‘finished’ code to compare your code to.
Who this course is for:
- Those looking to build a career as a NodeJS developer
- Those desiring to become MEAN stack developers
- Those who don’t have server technology experience but wish to gain this skill
- Those coming from other server technologies (like PHP, ASP.NET, or Ruby on Rails) and want to learn Node
- Those who want to only have to write both client and server code in one language: Javascript
- Those who want to grasp Express

I often find myself revisiting Anthony Alicea’s courses long after completing them. Why? Because I often walk away feeling like I learned something new after each lecture, even on topics that I thought I already understood. Each lecture is thoughtful and detailed, useful by itself in a vacuum, and continues to be relevant today in mid-2021 at the time of writing this review (and undoubtedly into the future). If I ever need to better understand a new or familiar concept, I will always look to see what Anthony has to say about it, first! Anthony Alicea’s NodeJS and JavaScript courses are far and away some of the best courses available on Udemy, and should be considered as must-haves for anyone that wants to learn or better understand these twotopics.

He not only explained how to use node but also nicely explains what’s happening in the background

This is one of the few courses where the instructor teaches you what things and and why is on this way.
I personally like these type of courses as prepares you to be a better programmer.
The reason I gave 4.5 and not 5 is because I thought there could be more deeper explanations with pros and cons.
Overall, I would have bought the course again. Thank you, Antony!

I enjoyed most of this course. I have been using Node for about a year and was familiar with using Node to build APIs with Express and databases with PostgreSQL. I was curious to see what more there was to learn.
I think this could be a beneficial course for someone who is first learning Node. It goes over the basics very clearly and thoroughly. Also, it was interesting to learn that Node was built with C++ and to learn about v8 engine. Although, if you already know the basics, I’m not sure if this course will provide additional info that is practical/current.
I do wonder how much of this course is outdated. The last part of the course (Let’s Build an App) was definitely outdated. The Mongo and Angular versions that were used are no longer current. This was also my first time using Mongo or Angular, and I was able to still make some progress by figuring out the current versions to some degree. However, I got stuck when it came to implementing the rxjs code. I couldn’t find a current version of the rxjs code that worked with the demo code. It just seemed like the demo code was perhaps much too old and different for it to be updated with whatever rxjs code is currently needed to handle promises.

The author of this course is top-notch. I enjoyed this course very much.
I only wish he didn’t finish the course with so much focus on Angular. There are much simpler frameworks out there (like Vue.js) that he could have used to push the front-end narrative without too much complication.
Still, I very much enjoyed the course. His explanations of complexities were great and certainly gave me a much better understanding of what I was tackling. Well worth the time and money!

Very nice and clearly explained by Tony how NodeJS works under the hood. Enough additional/side information connected to NodeJS.
I only have one remark; maybe towards the Udemy marketing; the initial recordings date back to 2015. That is nowhere mentioned. And now reaching end of 2021 quite some NPM packages have evolved and running sometimes into deprecation. It was overseeable, but a bit of a surprise that the course has been recorded 6 years ago. That should be mentioned tmho.

Good course, a bit dated, but I would still recommend completing it.
Big word alert, personally I didnt like these Big word alert inserts, they contain useful information, but break flow of the course and it quickly became a bit annoying.

Did not regret processing a refund from different instructor but same course to transfer to this instructor.
Truly Amazing.
This is by far one of the best online course, it gives Node.js justice.
It shows why Node.js should be learned and it’s concepts and structures explained in this course thoroughly shows why learning Node.js is important.

This is the second time I’ve taken a course by Tony Alicea. As usual, he is fantastic at diving deep into a topic and slowly explaining how things works at a basic level. Some of the course material is outdated, but the sections that teach Node.js basics are solid!
Andrés Lacruz –
This is a really good course. The most valuable thing here is that Tony takes the time to explain the fundamentals in a very clear way. It’s a shame the last section isn’t complete, but overall, the course is worth every penny. Looking forward the upcoming HTML & CSS course.
Nico du Plessis –
I was looking for overview of nodejs in stead of a type along tutorial, because I want to understand what is happening.
This was one of the best Udemy courses thus far.
Samuel Kanyinda –
One Of the great course so far
Lot of good informations about NodeJs
I do like the way he break things down in pieces with clear explanation
but some part need to be updated!
Thank You!
