Back-End Development with JavaScript

General Assembly
Build the backbone of modern web applications in this hands-on course designed to teach the core principles of server-side JavaScript. Students progress from the fundamentals of Node.js and HTTP communication to API development, database integration, and secure deployment workflows. Through guided labs, learners write and test code that powers real-world functionality-transforming static front ends into dynamic, data-driven experiences. Along the way, students gain practical experience configuring servers, managing application state, and connecting front-end interfaces to persistent storage with PostgreSQL. Emphasis is placed on clean architecture, modular code, and professional back-end development practices that ensure performance, reliability, and scalability. The course culminates in a capstone project: designing, building, and deploying a complete back-end service that demonstrates both technical proficiency and production readiness.
