Focusing on Node.js and Couriers Courses
This week, I shifted my focus towards Node.js and embarked on a new learning journey through Coursera. Let’s delve into the details:
Node.js Exploration
Node.js is a powerful environment for running JavaScript code outside the web browser. Leveraging Google’s V8 Engine, it efficiently converts JavaScript into machine code. While it lacks browser-specific features like the DOM or localStorage, it provides essential APIs and modules for tasks like file handling and server creation.
Front-End Web Development Certificate from Coursera
The Meta Front-End Developer Professional Certificate equips learners with essential skills for a successful career in front-end development. Although I already possess knowledge in this area, I decided to consolidate my skills and pursue the certification to showcase my expertise to potential employers.
