Server-Side Development

This advanced web course will prepare students to build the "back-end" server software to power web sites and web applications using the JavaScript language and the Express framework. This course will begin by covering server-side programming concepts like file system access, command-line arguments, and the Express framework, which queries databases and calls back-end web services. In addition, the course will also cover working with a number of ancillary technologies, such as databases (both SQL and NoSQL), API standards (both REST and GraphQL) and session management.
