Learn how to secure a RESTful API to keep your application data—and your users—safe.

Learn best practices that can help Node.js developers secure their apps at all levels, from packages to the server level.

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.

Learn how to gauge quality, implement testing, and ensure sufficient code coverage in your Node.js apps.

Get started with data modeling for NoSQL databases and learn how to work with common design patterns.

Get started with Microsoft Azure Redis by learning about the various data structures in Redis, and how to use those data structures from C#.

As the shiny new object in the data world, you might have heard a lot of people talk excitedly about NoSQL and all the things it can do. It’s great in terms of flexibility, speed, and is easy to work with. It’s super scalable, so it can accommodate increased numbers of users as websites and applications grow. But will it replace SQL? Will it make relational databases obsolete? In this course, Mel McGee explains just exactly what NoSQL is, the pros and cons, and tradeoffs you’ll make when using NoSQL. Mel takes a high-level approach without delving into the details of any one NoSQL query language or solution, so if you’re a developer looking for a bigger picture of NoSQL, or an entrepreneur wanting to explore options for your product, or just plain curious about non-relational databases, this course is for you.
