JavaScript & NodeJS Basics. Part I

Important note. In NodeJS course we expect students to be familiar with JavaScript before starting the main part of the course. Here is a list of topics you should be confident with:

1. Array methods (filter, map, reduce etc.)
2. ES6 features: arrow functions, classes
3. Promises, async/await
4. ES6 modules (import/export syntax)
5. Functions in depth: higher-order functions, callbacks, function composition

If you need to catch up, you can use the following materials for self-study: JavaScript Basics

Task

In this task you will get familiar with some features of NodeJS which you may have never seen in frontend development. Also you will take a closer look at JavaScript functions. Please complete the following workshops from NodeSchool:

• learnyounode
• functional-javascript-workshop
• stream adventure

1. Make a screenshot of your completed workshops and put the screenshot in node_basic_1 folder in your kottans-backend repo.

2. In your kottans-backend repo README.md

   • add header ## NodeJS Basics 1
   • embed the screenshot or add a link to the screenshot
   • list your reflections on all subtasks (what was new to you, what surprised you, what you intend to use in future)

3. If you honestly finished all the previous steps then go ahead and share it with others – post a message in course channel: NodeJS basics 1 — #done and add the link to your repo. This step is important, as it helps mentors to track your progress!
