This Node.js roadmap offers a structured customizable path to mastering back-end development. It introduces Node.js and JavaScript in the server-side context, covering modules and core concepts. You’ll explore asynchronous programming with callbacks, Promises, async/await, and the event loop, followed by event-driven programming with the EventEmitter class. Practical skills include file system operations, working with buffers, and using streams for efficient data handling.
The roadmap guides you through building HTTP servers, implementing routing, handling GET/POST requests, and integrating PostgreSQL for database-driven APIs. Additional topics include JWT-based authentication, WebSockets for real-time features like chat systems and live dashboards, and testing with Jest.
In the capstone project, you’ll build a RESTful API that stores arbitrary JSON data and enables filtering and retrieval in JSON, HTML, or CSV formats, enhancing your skills in building scalable back-end solutions tailored to your goals.
