As a seasoned developer, I have worked on various frameworks and technologies. NestJS is my favorite. It is easy to start but challenging to master. Its design principles are simple, and it combines sophisticated features with great community support. With its versatility and power, NestJS has always been my reliable partner, whether crafting APIs or architecting intricate applications.
That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my first online course, “Building Secure RESTful APIs with NestJS: A Practical Guide,” on the esteemed Educative platform.
Why another NestJS course?
Since NestJS is one of the most popular NodeJS frameworks, many NestJS online courses are readily available in the market. You might be wondering why you chose this one. Here’s what sets this course apart:
Text-based learning with Educative.io
Educative offers a unique interactive course platform. What truly differentiates it from other popular online learning platforms is its text-based learning.
Combined with practical application, text-based learning has demonstrated effectiveness in technical education. On average, reading surpasses video speed, with videos typically spoken at 150 words per minute compared to humans’ reading pace of 250 words per minute.
Personally, I found the interactive text-based learning environment to be more efficient than the video-based courses. Focusing on the course content is much easier, and practicing the theory using the embedded coding editor is a big plus.
Online learning within the browser
While many online courses require downloading coding environments, extra packages, and various programs before beginning, Educative streamlines the process with its integrated coding environment within the browser.
In this course, we have 59 code playgrounds for hands-on practice. You can build a new NestJS application, edit the code online, write new unit tests, or create a new docker image and deploy it to AWS ECS with a free trial AWS account. All these tasks/ practices are provided within the browser.
A beginner course that goes beyond
While the course is beginner-friendly, it also delves deep into advanced security concepts, making it suitable for developers of all skill levels. Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to advance your skills, this course offers something valuable.
What to Expect from Our Course
“Building Secure RESTful APIs with NestJS: A Practical Guide” is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to develop secure and scalable APIs using NestJS, a powerful Node.js framework. While theoretical knowledge is essential, this course emphasizes practical application. We’ll learn the concepts and see how they are applied in real-world scenarios, preparing us for challenges we’ll encounter in real-world projects.
Here’s a sneak peek into what you’ll learn:
- NestJS Fundamentals: We’ll gain a solid understanding of NestJS, its architecture, and the powerful tools it provides for building modern web APIs.
- RESTful API Design: Learn how to design RESTful APIs, adhering to best practices and industry standards to create efficient and user-friendly APIs.
- Database Integration: We’ll explore database integration using MySQL, a popular relational database management system, and TypeORM, a powerful Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework.
- Authentication and Security: We’ll cover implementing secure authentication methods to protect our APIs and user data.
- Validation and Serialization: Discover how to validate incoming data and serialize outgoing responses, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
- Testing Strategies: We’ll master the art of writing unit and end-to-end tests to ensure the reliability and correctness of our NestJS applications. (End-to-end testing evaluates the functionality of an entire application to ensure it works correctly from start to finish.)
- Deployment to AWS: Learn how to deploy our NestJS applications to AWS ECS (Amazon Elastic Container Service) for seamless scalability and reliability in production environments.
