Welcome to Women Techmakers Berlin's JavaScript autumn course! ★ Course description★ The course is designed around open-source technologies, so a Unix-like system, Linux or MacOS is preferred. Git and Visual Studio Code will be our main tools, along with Node.js. Windows is not preferred, but if you absolutely have to live on Windows, you should have a working git and Node.js installation, and the rest will work. FAQ ★ Lecture 5: Adding a MongoDB Datastore ★ ★ Before the class ★ ★ About Our Instructor★ Following the software craftsmanship philosophy, he has taught over 40 young engineering graduates on software and helped them enter the software industry.

The course will be spread over 9 weekly meetings, we will go from learning the fundamentals to having your very own backend application deployed with Docker.
This is a course designed for introducing JavaScript and Node.js as a platform for backend applications. It assumes that you know basic concepts of (object oriented) programming but we will start from the beginner level and build up. So, the more programming experience, the better — but total newbies are also welcome, provided that they invest the required amount of time for self-learning.
- Some previous programming knowledge would be really useful
- It's completely free
- It's both for beginners and not-so beginners
- Ideally, you'll keep working on your project at home
- All genders are welcome
- RSVP opens one week in advance
This session improves on the previous express application and introduces a MongoDB database as the datastore. We look into mongoose ODM and how to model simple data structures in MongoDB. We also talk about database denormalization approaches MongoDB enables. Further experiments with MongoDB queries and wiring the REST endpoints of the express app to real data.
- Update your RSPV if you are not able to come.
- Join our WTM Slack (https://slack.wtmberlin.com/) and #js-crash-course group.
- Check the pinned items of #js-crash-course.
- Check our Welcome Guide (https://github.com/WTMBerlin/jscc-welcomeguide). Make sure that you have at least all the steps until MongoDB and Robo3T (included) ready.
- If possible, watch the previous videos to be on track (they are on the pinned items of #js-crash-course).
- Don’t forget to bring your laptop and charger! :)
