JavaScript isn't just for special effects and form validations anymore; Node.js makes it possible to write full web applications entirely in JavaScript. In this course, author Joseph LeBlanc guides you through installing Node.js for the first time, as well as installing Node modules through NPM and writing command-line scripts. The course also covers creating servers, using Node-based frameworks, building templated markup, integrating Node with legacy codebases, programming for WebSockets using the Socket.IO module, and much more.

Topics include:

• Using the Socket.IO Node package to achieve "live" effects like Facebook notifications
• Templating your markup in the back end using popular JavaScript libraries
• Scraping web sites using jQuery without a browser
• Validating your JavaScript code before running it

download - Building a Website with Node.js and Express.js - Lynda

JavaScript is the language for adding interactivity to a website, but there's so much more it can do. Enter Node.js and Express.js, two technologies that extend the capabilities of JavaScript. The Node platform allows you to develop server-side applications with JavaScript that you can then easily publish as websites with the Express framework. In this course, Ray Villalobos walks through the entire process of creating a website on a server with Node.js and Express.js. After going over the installation process, Ray shows how to build a basic application, control the state of an application with routing, and use templates and partials. Then he demonstrates how to quickly structure a site with Express Generator, work with models and views, and publish the final website using Heroku.

Note: This course is intended for intermediate front-end web developers who are familiar with creating web projects and understand JavaScript basics.

Topics include:

• Installing Node.js and Express.js
• Exploring the node package manager (npm)
• Creating and modularizing routes
• Using templates
• Adding partials
• Using the Express Generator
• Preparing your site structure
