Node.js

Syllabus

Node.js is a powerful, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. It allows developers to use JavaScript for server-side scripting, enabling the development of scalable and high-performance network applications. Here's a general overview of what you might find in a Node.js course:

Duration :

Offline Classroom Training : The course will last 1 to 2 months, featuring live projects and sample models.
