"All about NodeJS" |
"About this CourseNodeJS is a platform that allows developers to write server side high performance and networked applications. And that too using good old Javascript. But wait ! Isn't Javascript meant to be used for forms and stuff on web pages ? Well that was 10 years ago. The world has gone from 'Oops! You've not filled up the form properly !' days to today's modern web apps and social media sites that rely heavily on Javascript. Google Apps, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and LinkedIn, being handful examples of this movement. And to think that this quantum leap would not have been possible without Javascript is not an overstatement. Today, when you socialize with your friends on Facebook, or use your Gmail inbox, you're running thousands of lines of code written in Javascript, in your browser. With Node JS, you can take this knowledge back on the server, where usually you would expect to see the likes of PHP, Ruby, ASP dot NET etc. But that's only a small portion of the reason why NodeJS is so cool. The fact that you can write full blown networked applications (think chat servers, collaborative tools, real-time data visualisation apps) with just a few lines of code is more than reason enough to not only look at NodeJS, but deep dive into it ! But I know PHP ? Why should I learn NodeJS ? Well, for starters, learning something new never hurts. But most importantly, learning NodeJS is great because : Node allows you to write highly scalable networked apps deployed on the cloud ! You're working at a different level of application design per se with Node and that means that you're not writing an app that sits on top of a stack, you design the stack from the server up. And while that may sound daunting, it really is not and you'll see why. You code in the same language, both on the server and on the front end ! We're all polyglots (we use multiple programming languages and syntax in most of our projects), but managing code in the same language on the back-end and the front-end never hurts and in-fact can be a huge time saver when debugging. NodeJS is used by the likes of LinkedIn, Yahoo and Microsoft to name a few. Its pretty new and consequently you gain advantage from the exponentially growing community of NodeJS & Javascript developers and that's great fun, really ! If you've been coding in Javascript, you can leverage your existing knowledge and skills and take it to a whole new level ! The Real ProblemSo, NodeJS sounds pretty interesting so far, but what really hit me in the face when I was learning all about Node was the fact that, with any new platform, framework or technology, you need to take baby steps, all the way through, to making real world examples, if you have to get to the grips of it. And that leads us to why you're here. In this course, we'll go from absolute scratch, all the way up to building and deploying full blown NodeJS app on the Cloud ! Project Oriented Learning With NodeJS, we will build two full blown apps. We will go all the from concept creation, UI/UX design to coding and deploying our app on the cloud. A. ChatCAT - One of the fun things that you can do with NodeJS is build realtime apps that allow a high number of concurrent users to interact with each other. Examples of this kind include Chat Servers, Gaming Servers, Collaborative Tools etc. We will build a multi-room chat server that allows users to login via Facebook, Create Chatrooms of their choice and Chat in realtime. We will not only create this app, but also deploy it on Heroku and Digital Ocean ! You will learn all about using Websockets, Structuring your App in an efficient manner, creating and using development & production configurations, Authentication using Facebook, Setting up an App on Facebook, Managing Sessions, Querying & Using a Hosted MongoDB Database, Using Heroku & Digital Ocean's Cloud Services and lots more... B. PhotoGRID - The second complete app that we will build in this course is a Photo Gallery app which lets users upload images into a gallery with the ability to vote up the images that they like. This NodeJS app lets users upload files, which are then resized to thumbnails on the server and stored in an Amazon S3 Bucket for optimal delivery to the front end interface. The entire app runs on an Amazon EC2 Cloud Server which we will create from scratch and configure for use. You will learn about managing file uploads using NodeJS & AJAX, Resizing Images on the Server, Accessing & Storing files in an S3 Bucket, Querying & Using a Hosted MongoDB Database, Using Amazon's Elastic IP Service & Cloudfront distribution, ensuring your NodeJS app runs automatically even if the server is restarted and lots more... In the projects above, we leave no stone unturned in terms of execution. This is a complete hands-on course that is not just limited to NodeJS but to the ecosystem that needs attention when a NodeJS app is built and deployed. My intent is hand hold you all the way from writing your first app to deploying production level apps on the cloud. And I'm always available to personally help you out, should you get stuck. BONUS :: Here's the best thing about this course. The curriculum that you see gets you up and running with NodeJS & Cloud Deployment. However, there is so much more that you can do with NodeJS, which is why I will keep adding new lectures and sections to this course on an ongoing basis. There is so much more that you will get with full lifetime access to lectures and all updates !! So, join in the fun !"

"Join over 1,000 students who are boosting the quality of their lives with gratitude. I'm sure you have heard of gratitude, being thankful for what you have, but are you aware of how powerful a thought or feeling of gratitude can be? In this course we will explore gratitude from a spiritual, energetic, and scientific perspective. Whether you've been keeping a gratitude journal for years, once had a gratitude practice but have stopped, or even if you think the notion of gratitude having any effect on your life is utter nonsense I invite you to join me. You will take part in a number of journaling exercises and learn simple rituals you can use on a daily basis to bring about an attitude of gratitude in your life. I'll share my story later, but let me say up front that everything I'll teach you is something I used to think was a ridiculous waste of time - that is until I tried it. I will share with you scientific studies from the field of Positive Psychology proving the amazing power of gratitude on your health, happiness, relationships and well being. You don't have to believe I word I say, just be intrigued enough to put some of the practices I'll share with you to work and then decide for yourself."

Sergio Hernn Rovira - La Paz, Bolivia: Thanks to you Esther I know everything is possible in life. Sometimes we see with our eyes instead of with our heart how will the future be.You changed my life from the first session. I felt and feel energized, big and that I can do things I believed were literally impossible, since a session with you is a change of Universe. A new reality where nothing is unreachable, where all is possible and especially where there are no limits. Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Macri Bastos. Mother and Clinic Psychologist Intercambios Culturales Bolivia: I had the pleasure and the privilege Esther was my childrens private tutor/teacher. Both waited anxiously to attend her classes and came back home happy after learning new things. Not only were my children recommended to her as students, also children from my friends. One pays the hour in Gold, since her classes have no price, due to the experience children receive from developing the pleasure of learning and logics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astrid Denise Morgan Lima - Per : I met Esther many years ago, when our children were studying at the Franco Boliviano " Alcide D'orbigny" School. She struck me as a dynamic, positive, outgoing entrepreneur; in other words a modern woman with many interests and new, innovative ideas, who put them into practice very successfully. At the time, she produced spices and also tutored primary, middle school, high school, and University students in math, science, physics and chemistry. Whenever someone asked for a good tutor, the answer inevitably was:" Call Esther Iberkleid, she's the best." I was able to ascertain this a few years later, when my eldest child needed one. I obviously called Esther, and she proved to be all that was said about her and more. She helped my daughter to organize herself, acquire better study habits, enhanced her capabilities, learn the subject matter well, and as if that weren't enough, Esther gave her self esteem a great big boost. My daughter was able to clarify all her doubts and started looking at school with more confidence and self assurance, both gained during her tutoring. As a former teacher, I consider this to be a great asset in a tutor. I have seen many students who loose their confidence when they move into higher grades. It is not that they don't study, or don't know the subject matter; it is mainly that they loose faith in themselves due to various reasons. Subjects get tougher, they go into their teens and feel more vulnerable and are under the constant criticism of their peers, some even have teachers whom they fail to understand; or who undermine them. This causes children to lower their grades, and as they do so they start believing they aren't capable enough, which in turn makes them lower their grades even more. Esther is a teacher/tutor, who not only knows the subject she teaches well and is constantly learning more about it; but she is always improving herself in order to find additional ways to impart her lessons, making them interesting and effective. More importantly, she cares and helps students realize that they are capable of facing, and succeeding in any challenge they face. I admire Esther greatly. She has strength, is always positive, and will go out and do everything she needs to do, to reach her goal. It was only four years ago, that she told me about her new enterprise over a cup of coffee, and now the results are amazing! She is doing something she loves, is happy and is very successful at it. This is what we would all want to achieve in life, isn't it? ... and it is the reason why I feel that she is such a great role model. As a teacher, as a client, and as a parent I would highly recommend Esther. She is excellent at what she does, always seeking to be the best, and is always well informed on new trends, changes or improvements there are in her field. I am convinced that whatever Esther begins, or whichever goals she sets for herself, she will always reach them and be the best at what she does. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wendy Howard - Small Business Expert, helping Coaches, Trainers, Consultants to grow profitable businesses Esther has the most amazing energy which she brings to all of her work and clients. Her knowledge and experience is very in depth and she has a true gift of connecting and helping people - quite literally change their lives. She has a number of diverse programs and offers many tools for business and life directional changes. I would recommend anyone who wants to make positive change and have a wealthier life to work with Esther. Great person, great passion, great business! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandy Hargrave, MA - Global Distributor at LifeVantage Esther has a passion for helping people to become all that they can be that is powerful beyond belief! She certainly works wonders with all of her clients. She is a masterful coach and teacher and amazing to watch. I have had the honor and privilege of working with Esther as a client, a coach and as a business partner. If you'd like to find your true purpose by finding the missing link to your wealthy, worthy life, then don't wait another minute. Let Dr. Esther be your guide.
