JavaScript and Node.js: Build Web Applications with MySQL

JavaScript and Node.js form the backbone of modern web development, powering everything from simple interactive elements to high-performance servers. Understanding how these technologies connect with databases is the key to building dynamic, real-world web applications. In this text-based course, you will transition from writing your first lines of programming code to building and deploying a data-driven web application. You will learn how to handle server-side logic, manage databases, and deploy your projects to the web using modern, industry-standard workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand core JavaScript concepts including variables, loops, functions, and modern ES6+ syntax. - Configure a Node.js web server from scratch to handle routing, URLs, and server responses. - Integrate a MySQL database to store, retrieve, and manage application data securely. - Apply asynchronous programming patterns using modern async/await syntax to handle database queries. - Build dynamic web pages by processing web forms, handling user input, and rendering templates. - Deploy your finished web applications to the cloud using Git version control and modern hosting environments. The course begins with foundational programming concepts and web basics before guiding you through server setup, database integration, and live deployment. You will read clear explanations, study practical code snippets, and complete written exercises to reinforce your learning. This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners with no prior programming or web development experience.
