Learning Node.js and MongoDB

Writing a mobile app and need to write backend services to support your apps? With the arrays of server-side technologies, it is often mind-boggling to think about the various options available.

Introducing Node.js and MongoDB.

Using Node.js, you can use your favourite programming language - JavaScript, to create server apps rapidly and easily. Node.js is designed to be non-blocking, supports event-driven I/O, and is light weight and efficient. Using Node.js, you can create your own Web server in a matter of minutes. And using it to create RESTful services is both fast and efficient.

While most apps require traditional relational databases, with the advent of mobile apps and location-based services, spatial data is getting more and more common. This is where MongoDB shines. Using MongoDB, you can query spatial data from the database from a single statement. For example, your MongoDB contains a 100,000 places of interest and you need to find the nearest ATM from a current location. How do you do this in SQL? Well, MongoDB does that in a single statement and voila! You got the result in split-seconds.

Training courses for your company

Looking for an in-house training to jumpstart your developers on a particular technology? We can help!

Our training methodology is simple - "you learn most when you have to do it". All our training courses focus heavily on hands-on training. Participants are expected to write code and learn how to debug their apps to make them work. Through this process of learning-by-doing, participants are able to absorb the topics quickly and get productive immediately.

If you have 5 developers or more, it would be economical for you to arrange for in-house training, where we can customize the topics based on your project requirements. If not, you can always send your staff to attend one of our many open enrolment courses:

WEB102 – Developing HTML5 Web Applications

HTML 5 is the new standard for the venerable HTML specification, a standard for displaying Web content. HTML has come a long way, going through a number of revisions - with the last version - 4.01, recommended by the W3C in 1999. The design goal of HTML 5 is to ensure that a

n application that you write can work on all browsers without the need to install additional plug-ins. It should be able to do everything from animation, to music and videos, local storage, offline applications, and more. HTML 5 is also cross platforms, meaning that your apps should be able to work whether it is run on a notebook, smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer.

In this 1-day course, you will be able to understand and use the new features of HTML5 through working with practical examples.
