This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
In this specialization, you'll explore advanced concepts in Node.js, focusing on streams, design patterns, and high-performance applications. You’ll learn how to build scalable, asynchronous apps with techniques that are essential for modern backend development. By working through multiple modules, you will gain practical experience and mastery of both foundational and advanced patterns in Node.js.
The specialization starts with core concepts like event loops and asynchronous patterns. You'll then explore design patterns, Node.js streams, performance optimization, and advanced topics like parallel processing and scaling.
Through real-world use cases, you’ll refine your problem-solving skills and master modern Node.js APIs for high-performance, scalable applications.
This specialization is ideal for intermediate learners with a background in JavaScript or backend development. If you're looking to advance your skills in Node.js and build high-performance applications, this specialization will guide you through every step.
By the end of the specialization, you will be able to implement design patterns, manage streams efficiently, optimize performance, and apply modern Node.js features to develop scalable applications.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this specialization, learners will work on projects that simulate real-world use cases, such as building and optimizing high-performance web applications. One of the key projects will involve implementing streams to efficiently handle large datasets, while another will focus on optimizing server performance using modern Node.js features like child processes and asynchronous patterns. These projects will help learners apply their skills in practical settings, solidifying their understanding of high-performance Node.js development.
