Why take this course?

Hi! This is a free course on how to build backend applications using Node JS. It's intended for either JavaScript beginners, or developers that want to learn how to deploy their applications on auto-scaling containers on AWS.

We take a learn-by-doing approach. In a matter of minutes, you'll have a running NodeJS Express application. Over the course of the lectures you'll develop your very own To Do List backend application.

After completing the To Do List app, we will learn how to deploy the app on AWS Fargate (using Docker containers) and then optionally purchase a domain name and have the entire world access our app through our very own custom domain!

In this course we will:

Build a very simple to-do app (backend only)
Containerize (dockerize) the app
We will then configure AWS Fargate to host our app.

Why is JavaScript and Node so awesome?

Well, it's the most used programming language in the world
Heaps of community support when you encounter bugs and issues
Loads of companies looking for JavaScript developers

Why is AWS Fargate so amazing?

It automatically provisions and monitors the load on our compute resources so we don't have to
It auto-scales our app so meet traffic loads, and scales back to reduce costs
It turns a traditional app into a "serverless" one

It's a great match. He takes the time to go over what everything means instead of just giving us code to write.

Many assumptions not covered on the credentials and aws terminal tools instalation in windows enviroments. In order to conect to amazon. All the other stuff is OK

Курс хороший, короткий и информативный - по делу. Проблема в том, что часть с AWS пришлось откинуть и делать в Heroky, поскольку я из России и не могу подтвердить доступ к AWS, но это не вина автора курса.

Esta muy bueno, lo único a mejorar me pareció que le dedica muy poco al load balancer y su configuración que ese es útil para muchos cursos de diversos niveles.

Easy to follow along with. Price was right. Only comment would be for beginners following along on the AWS console steps will see different dialog/ui choices (AWS changes since this course was released). Not sure if the course can be updated for the respected changes or not. Maybe add a document with said changes as opposed to re-recording the video? Thanks for the free video!

It is a good course for beginners. The scope in each lesson is short and can be easily understood by anyone with a JavaScript background.

The content is excellent! A great way for a beginner to get an overview of automating containers with NodeJS. My only suggestion for improvement is for the Teacher to add the referenced code to Github or add to the course for download, but what do you expect for free..so my 5 stars stands.

Instructor is very clear and explains in detail what he is doing, although I do not think this compressed course is for beginners.
