Get an overview of some of the options available for designing and creating websites and applications without involving (much, if any) code and engineering.

If you have a website, you want visitors. And if you run a business through a website, you want those visitors to be customers. To do that, you need user registration and authentication. Authentication is the foundation of most web applications, letting you determine who is visiting your site and helping you connect them with privileges they should or should not have. In this course, Daniel Khan shows how to add user registration and authentication to an app built with Node.js and Express.js. He covers everything from simple logins using a username and password stored in a database to more complex login methods like single sign-on. Daniel teaches this hands-on course with realistic sample projects, so that you can apply this knowledge to your own work right away.

Most software engineers would agree that clean code is easier to maintain than messy code, but what exactly does that look like, and how do go about cleaning up messy code? In this course, Jon Peck shows how to measure quality, implement testing, and measure code coverage in your Node.js apps, using a complete but buggy restaurant booking application to illustrate the concepts. Jon first reviews JavaScript fundamentals and testing and code quality concepts. He then explains how to use linters to find suspicious code; explores different testing frameworks and their components; and shows how to isolate your code for testing using test doubles, then verify with spies and mocks. Jon wraps up the course by showing how to generate reports on code health across your entire codebase. Along the way, he provides challenge and solution videos so you can test your knowledge of each section before moving on.
