The slides for my presentation: I'll fully explain what Node.js is, how it works and most importantly discuss the pros and cons of it vs something like C# or Java from real world experience using all of them. Same will be done for MongoDB vs. traditional SQL. We will then build out (from scratch) a Node/MongoDB API application paying careful attention to common pitfalls (like dealing with async code) to learn tips and tricks along the way. We’ll then cover integration testing to make sure everything works. Expect to leave the talk feeling confident when and why to use this tech stack and how to get started quickly!
