Who Should Take Express.js Training?
This Express.js training is considered associate-level JavaScript training, which means it was designed for software engineers. This express.js skills course is designed for software engineers with three to five years of experience with Node.js web application framework.
New or aspiring software engineers. Express.js is a particularly good tool for new software engineers to learn to use for two reasons. First, building web servers is complex and challenging. Second, because Express.js is lightweight and un-opinionated, you won't be bogged down with preconceived ideas or pre-made choices about your designs and implementation.
Experienced software engineers. Not every software engineer needs to know how to build a web server. If you've been working in the industry for a few years, you probably know that. This course will teach you to use Express.js to build your web servers — Express takes a ton of the tedium out of the job and leaves you more time to make the clever and creative choices that define your role as a software engineer.
