Node.js and Express Bootcamp

Node.js runs the back end of much of the modern web — from streaming platforms and banking apps to the booking systems and e-commerce APIs powering small businesses across Greater Geelong and the Surf Coast. Paired with Express, the most widely used Node web framework, it is one of the most consistently in-demand skills on Australian job boards — and one of the most approachable routes from front-end tinkering into genuine back-end development. The Node.js & Express Bootcamp is a complete, end-to-end pathway: you begin with a modern JavaScript refresher and finish by deploying a real, secure, tested REST API to the cloud — with authentication, a database and a custom domain. Every example, scenario and case study is Australian. You'll model AUD pricing and GST in your data, host your database in a Sydney region for data residency, integrate an Australian shipping and payments scenario, and learn what the Privacy Act 1988 and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme mean for an API that stores customer records — not US defaults you then have to translate. Fully self-paced and delivered through our Moodle LMS as interactive lessons, each chapter combines short, focused reading with hands-on coding activities, knowledge checks, drag-and-drop exercises and branching real-world scenarios — so you're writing and running real code, not just watching, from the very first session.
