This documents my progress on the freecodecamp Back End Development and APIs pathway.
Until this point, you've only used JavaScript on the front end to add interactivity to a page, solve algorithm challenges, or build an SPA. But JavaScript can also be used on the back end, or server, to build entire web applications.
Today, one of the popular ways to build applications is through microservices, which are small, modular applications that work together to form a larger whole.
In the Back End Development and APIs Certification, you'll learn how to write back end apps with Node.js and npm. You'll also build web applications with the Express framework, and build a People Finder microservice with MongoDB and the Mongoose library.
Tutorial Modules:
- Managing Packages with NPM
- Basic Node and Express
- MongoDB and Mongoose
Back End Development and APIs Projects:
- Timestamp Microservice
- Request Header Parser Microservice
- URL Shortener Microservice
- Exercise Tracker
- File Metadata Microservice
