    Advanced Node.js and Express.

    js Curriculum

    Session 1: Advanced Routing and Middleware Patterns

    - Goal: Develop a deeper understanding of routing and middleware use cases.

    - Topics:

    - Advanced routing patterns (nested routes, sub-routers).

    - Using third-party middleware (e.g., cors, helmet for security).

    - Error-handling middleware and custom error responses.

    - Conditional middleware based on user roles or request data.

    - Hands-On: Set up a RESTful API with nested routes, like a blog API where posts have nested

    comment routes, implementing role-based access for different routes.

    Session 2: Authentication and Authorization

    - Goal: Learn user authentication and authorization methods in Express.

    - Topics:

    - Overview of authentication options (JWT, OAuth, and session-based).

    - Implementing JWT-based authentication.

    - Storing passwords securely (using bcrypt).

    - Route protection and role-based authorization.

    - Hands-On: Add JWT-based authentication to the REST API, securing certain routes so only

    authorized users can access them.

    Session 3: Integrating Databases and ORM/ODM

    - Goal: Understand advanced database integration and querying techniques.

    - Topics:

    - Setting up MongoDB with Mongoose or an SQL database with Sequelize.


    - Using Mongoose schemas, virtuals, and hooks for advanced data manipulation.

    - Performing complex queries (e.g., pagination, joins, and aggregations).

    - Error handling in database operations.

    - Hands-On: Extend the API by adding advanced CRUD features, like pagination and data

    aggregation for listings.

    Session 4: Performance Optimization and Caching

    - Goal: Understand optimization techniques for better performance.

    - Topics:

    - Identifying and resolving bottlenecks.

    - Using caching with Redis for optimized data retrieval.

    - Asynchronous programming in depth (Promise chaining, async/await).

    - Error handling and performance tips with asynchronous code.

    - Hands-On: Implement caching for certain endpoints (e.g., popular product listings), and improve

    performance by optimizing async operations.

    Session 5: Testing and Deployment

    - Goal: Learn how to test and deploy a production-ready Node.js application.

    - Topics:

    - Introduction to testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end tests).

    - Setting up testing frameworks (e.g., Mocha, Chai, Jest).

    - Writing unit tests for controllers, middleware, and routes.

    - Deployment strategies (using cloud providers or containers).

    - Using environment variables and securing sensitive data.

    - Hands-On: Write unit tests for core application functions and deploy the project to a platform like

    Heroku or a cloud provider, using environment variables for configuration.
