This comprehensive module delves into the essentials of back-end web development using NodeJS and the powerful ExpressJS framework. You will begin by establishing a foundational understanding of NodeJS, including the creation of servers and the management of both static and dynamic files alongside templating engines for dynamic content generation. 

Building upon this base, the course transitions to leveraging ExpressJS for efficient request and response handling. You will learn to parse user input from various sources, serve static assets like images and CSS, and dynamically render HTML using templates. 

As you progress, you will explore advanced server-side concepts crucial for building robust and scalable applications. This includes implementing dynamic routing to create flexible URL structures, developing custom middleware to handle specific request processing logic, and mastering effective error handling strategies. Furthermore, you will be introduced to common design patterns for organizing your back-end code and techniques for optimizing application performance. 

Finally, the module integrates advanced JavaScript concepts that are highly relevant to both front-end and back-end development. You will deepen your understanding of object and array manipulation techniques, clarify the distinctions between primitive and reference values, and gain proficiency in asynchronous programming paradigms to handle non-blocking operations efficiently.

• Develop a foundational understanding of NodeJS, including server creation and working with templates, dynamic, and static files. 
• Utilize ExpressJS for request and response handling, parsing user input, serving HTML and static files, and working with dynamic templates.
• Implement advanced server-side concepts such as dynamic routes, custom middleware, error handling, design patterns, and code optimization for building dynamic backends. 
• Explore advanced JavaScript concepts relevant to both frontend and backend development, including object/array manipulation, primitive vs. reference values, and asynchronous programming.
  

Upon completing this course, participants will be able to: 

• Understanding fundamental concepts of NodeJS and its role in backend development. 
• Create and configure basic NodeJS servers to handle web requests. 
• Serve static files (e.g., CSS, images) and dynamically generated HTML content using templates in NodeJS. 
• Utilize the ExpressJS framework to streamline server creation and routing.
• Implement request and response handling in ExpressJS applications. 
• Parse and process various forms of user input within ExpressJS. 
• Serve HTML files and dynamic content using template engines within ExpressJS. 
• Design and implement dynamic routing systems in ExpressJS applications. 
• Develop and integrate custom middleware functions for request processing in ExpressJS. 
• Implement effective error handling mechanisms in NodeJS and ExpressJS applications.
• Identify and apply common design patterns for structuring backend code. 
• Employ techniques for optimizing the performance of NodeJS and ExpressJS applications. 
• Demonstrate advanced JavaScript proficiency in manipulating objects and arrays. 
• Articulate the difference between primitive and reference values in JavaScript and their implications. 
• Implement and manage asynchronous operations in JavaScript using techniques like callbacks, promises, and async/await. 
• Apply advanced JavaScript concepts effectively in both frontend and backend development contexts.

This course will follow problem-solving techniques. Participants will collaborate to create script logic for web servers, using an interactive learning approach that encourages them to expand their logical thinking in backend scenarios.
