API documentation and deployment tactics are covered to complete your basic skills.

The course progresses to a deep dive into the Node Package Manager (NPM), where you will learn to manage packages, understand dependencies, and create a package.json file. You'll become proficient in installing, updating, and removing packages as well as publishing your own packages to NPM. Learn to handle package version conflicts and configure scripts in package.json for streamlined development processes.

Building a basic server with NodeJS forms a significant part of this course. From setting up the development environment to working with HTTP requests and defining routes, every aspect is detailed out. You'll also learn to use libraries to facilitate API development, handle requests validation, store data in databases, and manage error handling and documentation comprehensively. By the end, you'll know how to deploy and host your server efficiently.

ExpressJS is introduced to enhance your server capabilities with advanced routing techniques, including passing parameters, working with dynamic routes, and implementing middleware. You'll master CRUD operations, authentication routes, and utilizing HTTP verbs. Further, learn to validate data, handle file uploads using routes, and work with JWT for secure route authentication.

The course doesn't stop at the basics; it includes creating REST APIs with NodeJS and ExpressJS, handling JSON, and working with CORS. You'll venture into error handling, MongoDB integration, CRUD operations, and mastering authentication and authorization in NodeJS APIs using JWT and other strategies.

With advanced sections on working with JSON Web Tokens, data validation using the Joi package, file uploads with Multer, and creating live chats with Socket.IO, you'll build complex, real-time applications. Testing your NodeJS APIs with Postman and Jest ensures the reliability of your code.

Deployment strategies using Docker and Kubernetes are covered to help you manage and monitor your API's performance with PM2. Secure your NodeJS APIs and improve performance, session management, and caching strategies. Document your APIs with Swagger and manage API versioning for clean, maintainable code.

The course also delves into working with queues, WebSockets, GraphQL, and advanced practices, including refactoring a NodeJS API to TypeScript, design patterns, and SOLID principles. Convergence of theory and practical knowledge prepares you for next steps in NodeJS, making you adept at creating sophisticated APIs in a professional environment.
