Node Express Course
This project is a comprehensive course on building server-side applications using the Node.js runtime and Express web framework. It provides instructional material for developing REST APIs, managing backend development, and creating web servers.
The curriculum includes specialized guides for implementing user authentication systems, such as email verification and password reset flows, and a dedicated lab for integrating Stripe to handle recurring subscription billing and financial transactions.
The course covers broad capability areas including MongoDB database integration for data storage, token-based authentication for securing API endpoints, and the implementation of automated email notification services. It also addresses file upload management and server-side rendering using templates.
