OpenJS Node.js Application Developer (JSNAD) Certification Guide A complete practical study guide to become a node.js certified developer with 100+ sample programs demonstrated Liora Venith
Preface Get certified in Node.js application development and take your career to the next level! The JSNAD certification is your ticket to proving your deep understanding and proficiency in Node.js application development. This fantastic book is perfect for anyone aiming to ace the JSNAD exam. The book is packed with essential Node.js concepts, including asynchronous programming, middleware integration, and advanced routing techniques. This is your chance to get to grips with the core aspects of Node.js and build a solid foundation! And there's more! You'll also learn about testing strategies, deployment methodologies, and performance optimization. This book includes quick reference guides and a glossary of advanced terms, making it easy to revisit key concepts and really cement your understanding. You'll also find lots of practical exercises and knowledge checks throughout the book, which are great for checking your understanding and spotting areas you can improve on. And there's more! You'll also find detailed explanations of complex topics that demystify intricate Node.js functionalities, making them accessible and comprehensible. And there's more! The book also offers access to sample
projects and code repositories, providing hands-on experience that mirrors the scenarios encountered in the certification exam. These projects are the perfect chance for learners to put their new skills into practice, building amazing, robust Node.js applications that can scale to any challenge! In this book you will learn how to: Master Node.js architecture and the event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. Master asynchronous programming using callbacks, promises, and async/await. Implement a robust middleware solution for efficient request handling in Express.js. Write unit tests using Mocha and Chai to ensure your code is reliable. Use Jest to test the full range of Node.js applications. Set up secure environment variables for different stages of deployment. Profile and manage your applications' memory to improve performance. Deploy your Node.js applications using PM2 and configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. Create CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment.
Prologue When I first decided to pursue the JSNAD certification, I was thrilled and a little daunted by the incredible scope of knowledge it would bring me. I was excited to dive into the world of asynchronous programming and middleware integration, as well as the challenge of deploying applications and optimizing performance. I knew I needed a structured approach that would not only cover the theoretical aspects but also provide practical insights to help me tackle the exam with confidence. That's why I've crafted this book—to bridge that gap! I dove deep into the core concepts of Node.js, making sure that each chapter built upon the previous one. This created a cohesive and comprehensive learning experience that I'm really excited to share with you! The good news is that I'm going to share the very strategies that helped me navigate complex topics, the resources that were absolutely invaluable during my preparation, and the common pitfalls to avoid. I wanted to create a roadmap that would guide aspiring developers through their certification journey with clarity and assurance. I've packed this book with all the details you need to know, plus real-world examples and practical exercises to help you really understand the concepts. I've made sure you have all the
tools you need to revise quickly and understand even the trickiest concepts with quick reference guides and a glossary of advanced terms. And that's not all! I've also included sample projects and code repositories that mirror the types of challenges you'll face on the certification exam and in professional development environments. Working through these examples has been an amazing way for me to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical context, and I know you'll feel the same! The more you dive into "JSNAD Certification Preparation," the more you'll see how engaging the material is! I really encourage you to take the time to work through the exercises, explore the sample projects, and reflect on the strategies discussed. It's a great way to really get the most out of the book! This book is so much more than just a study aid! It's a fantastic companion designed to support you every step of the way toward achieving your certification goals. I know how hard you're working to get your JSNAD certification. That's why I created this book—to make your journey as smooth and effective as possible! - Venith
