Node.js Services Development (LFW212) is a hands-on, developer-focused course that teaches how to build scalable, secure web services and RESTful APIs using Node.js. Starting with server setup and basic content serving, learners progress to developing JSON-based APIs, manipulating data through RESTful endpoints, and aggregating services for complex application needs.
The course also covers advanced backend capabilities like HTTP request proxying and essential web security practices—focusing on input validation and protection against common attacks. Perfect for backend and full stack developers, this course provides the practical skills to build performant, secure services with Node.js in production environments.
This course provides a deep dive into Node core HTTP clients and servers, web servers, RESTful services and web security essentials. With a major focus on Node.js services and security this content is an essential counterpart to the Node.js Application Development (LFW211) course.
The course, along with real-world experience and study, will provide the skills and knowledge also tested by the Linux Foundation’s OpenJS Node.js Services Developer (JSNSD) exam.
