This repository accompanies a hands-on Node.js course that builds production-minded skills through projects and exercises rather than slideware. It walks learners from fundamentals to pragmatic topics such as configuration management, process models, database integration, caching, and message queues. Security practices—input validation, secrets handling, and least-privilege IAM—are woven into examples instead of tacked on at the end. The curriculum also covers operational concerns like logging, metrics, health checks, and deployment pipelines so students can ship services with confidence. Code samples are opinionated but accessible, showing how to structure modules, controllers, and tests for clarity and changeability. By the end, participants have a working reference implementation they can adapt for real projects, along with a checklist mindset for production readiness.
