Deep dive into mongoose (including all advanced features)

How to work with data in NoSQL databases (including geospatial data)

Advanced authentication and authorization (including password reset)

Security: encryption, sanitization, rate limiting, etc.

Server-side website rendering with Pug templates

Credit card payments with Stripe

Sending emails & uploading files

Deploy the final application to production (including a Git crash-course)

Downloadable videos, code and design assets for projects

Requirements

Absolutely NO understanding of Node or back-end development is required! I take you from beginner to advanced developer!

Basic understanding of JavaScript is required (the course contains a section about asynchronous JavaScript with promises and async/await in case you need to get up to speed)

Basic understanding of HTML is a plus (only for final part of the course), but NOT a must

Any computer and OS will work — Windows, macOS or Linux
