Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our Node.js course? Find answers to common queries below
Do I need prior JavaScript experience?
Basic JavaScript knowledge is recommended for this course. The first module includes a comprehensive review of modern JavaScript (ES6+) features, but having some familiarity with JavaScript fundamentals will help you progress more quickly. If you're completely new to JavaScript, we recommend taking our JavaScript Fundamentals course first or completing some preparatory work before enrolling.
What computer requirements are there?
You'll need a laptop or desktop computer with at least 8GB RAM, a modern processor (Intel i5/AMD Ryzen 5 or better), and 20GB of free storage space. Both Windows, macOS, and Linux are supported. We'll help you set up all the necessary development tools during the first week, including Node.js, MongoDB, Git, and code editors.
What projects will I complete during the course?
Throughout the course, you'll build several real-world projects including a RESTful API service, a real-time chat application, an e-commerce backend, and a content management system. The capstone project will be a comprehensive full-stack application that you'll design and build from scratch, incorporating all the skills you've learned. All projects are designed to showcase different aspects of Node.js development and will become valuable portfolio pieces.
How much time should I dedicate to the course?
For the full-time program, you should expect to commit about 30-35 hours per week, including 20 hours of structured learning and 10-15 hours of independent project work. For the part-time program, you'll need to commit about 15-20 hours per week, including 6 hours of weekend sessions and 9-14 hours of independent study. Both options require significant dedication to get the most out of the course, but the part-time option offers more flexibility for those with other commitments.
What kind of support will I receive?
You'll receive comprehensive support throughout your learning journey. This includes regular 1-on-1 mentorship sessions with experienced Node.js developers, access to our 24/7 Discord community where you can get help from peers and instructors, detailed code reviews on your projects, and career coaching to help you prepare for job interviews. All session recordings are available for review, and our teaching assistants provide additional support during scheduled office hours.
