JavaScript has grown into a one-stop coding language for creating and hosting web applications, and this course shows you just how much today's JavaScript can really do. You'll kick things off by exploring what the Node.js runtime brings to the table. Node.js lets JavaScript programmers build server-side architecture so anyone can host their very own application, working with the built-in file system, running development servers, and even programming listening devices. From there, you'll move into Express to manage the flow of data coming into and out of your application.
Last up, you'll get into MongoDB. Objects organize data using key-value pairs, a simple but effective way to build data structures. MongoDB taps into the power of the object along with JSON to create, store, and manage data in a lightweight way. By the time you finish this advanced course, you'll have the skills to put together functional web applications using JavaScript and its frameworks.

- Synchronous and asynchronous JavaScript inside Node.js
