Node.js Backend Development

Summary

Use JavaScript on the server with Node.js — and build fast, real backends and APIs. You'll learn to create servers, build REST APIs with Express, connect to databases, and handle authentication, all in the language you already know from the front-end. It's fully project-based, and you'll use AI tools to build, understand, and debug backend code faster.

Node.js Backend Development

Who Is This For

This training is for JavaScript developers ready to build the backend — servers, APIs, and databases — without learning a new language.

Front-end / JavaScript developers who want to become full-stack
React or Next.js developers who want to build their own APIs
Freelancers who want to deliver complete apps, front and back
Anyone building a REST API, real-time app, or backend service
Developers who want an in-demand backend skill — with AI as a coding partner

Certified Training

A Freelancers Web Academy Certificate of completion can be provided for this training upon completing a solo project.

About this training

Node.js lets you run JavaScript on the server — which means you can build the entire web app, front and back, in one language. It powers APIs, real-time apps, and the backends behind countless modern products. In this training you'll learn to build real servers and APIs with Node.js and Express. This practical Node.js training in Tétouan is fully hands-on, taught in a small group of 16 students maximum.

This is 100% hands-on. You build a real backend and a working API. Whether you take the Accelerated weekend sprint (14 hours) or the Continued 3-month program (~48 hours), you finish able to build backend services with Node.js.

Choose your format

Both formats are 100% hands-on — the difference is depth and practice time:

Accelerated (weekend sprint, 14 hours): the fundamentals fast — how Node works, npm, and your first Express server and API routes.
Continued (3 months, ~48 hours): production skills in depth — middleware, database CRUD, authentication, error handling, and deploying a real API live.

What you'll learn

How Node.js works and running JavaScript outside the browser
Using npm and managing packages and dependencies
The module system and organizing a backend project
Asynchronous programming: callbacks, promises, and async/await
Building a web server and a REST API with Express
Routes, middleware, and handling requests and responses
Connecting to a database and performing CRUD operations
Authentication and securing your API
Environment variables, error handling, and clean project structure
Deploying a Node.js app to a live server

Build and debug faster with AI

You'll use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude as a coding assistant — to scaffold routes, explain async code, write middleware, and debug faster. You'll learn to prompt precisely and review the output, so AI accelerates your understanding instead of replacing it.

Prerequisites

You should be comfortable with JavaScript fundamentals (variables, functions, arrays, objects, and async basics). If you're not there yet, take our JavaScript training first. You only need a laptop.
