About this Specialization

4,117 recent views

Backend refers to the server side of development. Here, the primary focus is on how a website works. Node.js is considered efficient for the development of backend applications as it brings event-driven programming and enables development of fast and efficient web servers in JavaScript. Developers can create scalable servers by using a simplified model of event-driven programming that uses call-backs to signal completion of a task.

Applied Learning Project

In this project, you will develop backend solutions for the given problem statements using Node.js and Express. You will build RESTful Microservices using the skills acquired from courses on JavaScript, Node.js and Express.js. The course requires you to follow the design principles and the best practices used for developing solutions to create products that meet the industry-standards.

How the Specialization Works

Take Courses

A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the Specialization directly, or review its courses and choose the one you'd like to start with. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course — you can pause your learning or end your subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard to track your course enrollments and your progress.

Hands-on Project

Every Specialization includes a hands-on project. You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to complete the Specialization and earn your certificate. If the Specialization includes a separate course for the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the other courses before you can start it.

Earn a Certificate

When you finish every course and complete the hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.

Implement Polyglot Persistence Using SQL and NoSQL Databases

Have you ever wondered what happens to the registration details after you click on the submit button or to the order details once you press the confirm order button when you try to access any website? From where do you think, the details of the product catalogue are fetched to be displayed on the browser?

All dynamic or interactive applications should be able to store the details provided by the user and retrieve them when requested. Most websites require a database. This course will take you through the process of creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting data using SQL and NoSQL databases. It also challenges you with hands-on practices that enable you to perform database operations using shell commands and GUI tools.

Build and Implement Microservices Patterns

Do you think an e-commerce application can be created as one large application?

Imagine there is an ongoing sale, or some new features are to be added. How, according to you are the changes made visible on the application? Microservices is a cloud-based architectural approach. It contains loosely coupled, and independently deployable smaller services that are put together cohesively to develop and work on larger, and more complex applications. This approach is being increasing recognized among the business leaders of today, as it helps them structure their operation model and manage their teams according to their requirements. This course will enable you to create an application using multiple microservices. It will provide you hands-on practice on building microservices using Node.js and help establish communication between the microservices.
