    • Explain what Node.js is.
    • Describe how Node.js works.
    • Identify when to use Node.js.
    • Create and run a Node.js script from the command line.
  • Module 2: Create a Node.js project and learn to add packages and manage package dependencies in your project. Use the NPM CLI and registry to add libraries and tools to your JavaScript/TypeScript web development projects using Visual Studio Code.

    • After you complete this module, you'll be able to:

    • Initialize Node.js projects
    • Understand what the manifest file package.json consists of and use it to your advantage
    • Add packages to and remove packages from your Node.js project
    • Manage your package dependencies and update them in a predictable way
  • Module 3: Learn how to efficiently debug your Node.js JavaScript app by using Visual Studio Code to fix your bugs quickly. Use the interactive debugger within Visual Studio Code to analyze and fix your JavaScript applications.

    • By the end of this module, you will be able to:

    • Use the Visual Studio Code debugger with a Node.js program.
