Node.js is a popular JavaScript runtime environment used to create server-side applications. It is an ideal tool for building robust, full-stack web applications with React.

This course is an introduction to web development leveraging these two popular technologies. You’ll learn server-side applications with Node.js and learn to add database functionality with MongoDB fitting into the Express application framework. You’ll then build a user authorization system using the JSON Web Token (JWT).

You’ll then focus on a client-side environment built with React. You’ll build a sample application to get familiar with the framework before styling the application and adding necessary user-interaction elements. You’ll wrap up by tying the frontend and backend together and deploying your web application with Heroku.

By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to build real-world websites using the most popular JavaScript tools.
