Node.js Training in Cape Town

This instructor-led live training in Cape Town (online or onsite) targets experienced developers keen on building, deploying, and scaling applications using microservices powered by NodeJS and React.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop, deploy, and scale applications using various microservices.
• Build a server-side rendered React application.
• Deploy multi-service applications to the cloud using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Perform application testing on microservices.

This instructor-led, live training in Cape Town (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level .NET developers who wish to gain proficiency in JavaScript, Node.js, and React to actively develop and migrate systems or platforms.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Write and debug JavaScript code effectively.
• Build and deploy server-side applications using Node.js.
• Develop dynamic and responsive user interfaces with React.
• Integrate front-end and back-end components to create full-stack applications.
• Understand best practices for migrating legacy systems to modern JavaScript-based platforms.

Overview

Node.js serves as a platform designed for the swift development of scalable network applications. This course delves into leveraging the event-driven, non-blocking I/O model to construct data-intensive, real-time applications that operate across distributed devices. Participants will examine the distinctive design decisions behind Node.js, exploring how these influence application architecture and the optimal functioning of interconnected systems within this framework. Attendees will learn to write modular code that is robust, expressive, and clear. The curriculum covers the appropriate use of callbacks, event emitters, and streams, demonstrating how streams can manipulate large datasets that exceed application memory capacity. Students will develop proficiency in effective error handling to ensure runtime reliability. The course includes comprehensive lab exercises to reinforce the concepts and techniques taught.

Objectives

Upon completing this course, students will be capable of:

• Comprehending the platform design choices that necessitated Node.js's event loop architecture and understanding the implications for applications built on this foundation.
• Grasping the unique trade-offs inherent in event-driven programming.
• Developing Node.js modules and effectively expressing code modularity within applications.
• Understanding core flow control patterns in Node.js and recognising when to employ callbacks, event emitters, or streams.
• Creating and manipulating buffers efficiently.
• Managing error states and determining when a process should terminate due to an error.
• Constructing network applications using Node.js.
