What you should know
- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course you should have a basic understanding of JavaScript and Node.js. You should know how to create the basic web application using a framework like Express.js or Fastify. You should understand functions and be familiar with callbacks, Promises and Async await. In this course, you're using Fastify as the framework, but if you have worked with Express or any other Node.js framework you will feel right at home. Fastify follows a similar (indistinct) response model, but is more modern and optimized for speed and efficiency. We will also use modern JavaScript features throughout this course. This includes ES module imports like import and export, instead of common shares which is required. We will use Arrow functions. We will use destructuring assignments for better readability and we will also use Promises and Async await to handle asynchronous code. While a deep understanding of these features is not required because this is a database course most of all, I recommend looking up any syntax that is unfamiliar to you as you follow along.
