Meeting Times

  • We meet regularly on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, with an open discussion period and review every Friday from 4pm to 5pm.

Course Description & Goals

  • This course will walk you through back-end web application development using Node.js and MongoDB. JavaScript will be used throughout the course to teach how to create APIs. Discussions will also hit on how front-end web applications will utilize APIs in production scenarios.

  • Upon completion of this course, you will be able to create a web API from scratch and deploy it to a cloud-based hosting provider. You will understand web architecture, including databases, and how web or mobile applications will interact with that API. You will also understand the role that developers play on an overall product team to prepare you for a transition into a work environment.

Grading

This is a pass / fail course; there are no traditional grades. If at any time you are curious about your progress and where you stand, please feel free to reach out to the instructors.

Throughout the course, there will be quizzes and projects that serve as a means to provide information on progress and understanding on various subjects. The instructors will provide feedback on each of these, but they are not included as part of a final grade.
