An intensive immersion into Node.js its stack: Express.js and MongoDB and React.js
NodeProgram.com is the fastest and most engaging way to get started with Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js and React.js (M.E.R.N stack). It’s an intensive weekend-long live course taught in the Bay Area by skilled experts who have run Node.js in production for years! NodeProgram.com is the ultimate way to get up and running with the foundations of Node.js, by learning the required foundational skills to use Node.js!
If you have anything to do with technology today, then you are probably familiar with Node.js—the JavaScript on the server— and how its non-blocking platform is faster, more scalable and approachable than incumbents (e.g., Node.js vs PHP). The Node.js open-source ecosystem is growing every day (modulecounts.com). At the same time not just startups but industry giants like PayPal, Groupon, Twitter, WalMart, eBay, and DocuSign are adopting and switching their stacks to Node.js from Java, Ruby, .NET and others (Node.js is taking over the Enterprise).
The growing Node.js popularity is happening for a few reasons:
The benefits of having a Node.js experience are many:
When I first started using Node.js, I wanted to find a shortcut and quickly get up to speed. Right away, I found out it was going to take some work. But, now that I have done the work, I want to share it with you, simplified—like a shortcut! There was no shortcut when I started! I spent weeks reading books and hacking on side projects, then spent years using Node.js in production, first at Storify and now at DocuSign. What I have done for you is I have taken all of the information that you need to get started and developed a training program that will get you up and running in only one weekend! That’s right, merely hours of your time.
We’re all busy professionals who strive for more at our jobs and businesses. Having Node.js in your toolbox can make you eligible to participate in an interesting new project or even get you that promotion that you’ve been waiting for. Not only is it perfect when you work for a company already using Node.js, but, if you’re running your own startup or building your own software product—you’ll have a definite competitive advantage and will be able to hire talented developers more easily because Node.js is the type of tool that many developers look forward to using.

Kenson GooNodeProgram.com is a customized learning experience. We want you to tell us what questions do you have. They'll be answered one-on-one during the office hours segment.
To get the maximum benefits out of NodeProgram.com, we advise to prepare to the following items in advance:
The class is aimed at an intermediate to advanced JavaScript front-end developers and/or back-end engineers fluent in non-JS programming language(s). Recommended reading/exercises:
The years spent teaching JavaScript and Node.js at HackReactor, General Assembly, pariSOMA, Marakana and The New Circle have taught me that the best learning experience requires four basic components:
At NodeProgram.com we take this approach seriously, and provide you with the first three parts: mentorship, time for personal projects, paired programming and discussions. Then, students have a week to digest the information and come back for a follow-up session where we'll do office hours answering questions, reviewing code and looking at your projects' demos. So we are here to answer your questions and help you process the information, if needed. The office hours will be conducted one week after the training to answer any follow up questions.
Another difference compared to other educational formats is that NodeProgram.com is a customized learning experience. Basically treat us as your consultants. During the registration, you can ask us up to five questions before the course even starts! And during the course, you can work on your project and use our instructors as coaches. We also provide guidance to the applicants whose level is not advanced enough to get the full benefit of the program.

Q: What time does the course start and end?
A: Typically we run the course from 9am to 5pm. Feel free to email us for more details.
Q: When is the lunch break? Should I bring my own lunch?
A: The lunch break is roughly from 12 to 1pm. Yes, please bring your own lunch or searcch for places near the event. We recommend using Yelp or Google Maps to find something fast and healthy (we don't want you to have a food coma!).
Q: What do I pay for?
A: You pay for the experience of accelerated and focused learning and the environment of collaboration and peer-to-peer learning. In addition, you'll get a chance to ask our instructors one-on-one questions.
Q: Can I get the same material for free online?
A: Yes. You can find most of the materials online for free or for cheap (a book is $20-40), but realistically it will take you weeks or months to cover the material, beause of life commitments and other distractions. In fact, most people who start learning will never get anywhere by reading books, taking online courses and free blog posts.
Q: Do you offer refunds?
A: Yes! If you're not 100% satisfied, we will refund you 100% as long as you tell us within the first 4 hours of the course. (That's enough to get the taste and will allow you to spend the rest of the weekend doing something else.)
Q: Where can I register?
A: You can register on this website or on Eventbrite page when the next course is scheduled.
Q: Can I buy for a company or multiple people (seats)?
A: Yes. Contact us directly for corporate training and multiple seats.
Q: Will there be a follow-up after the course?
A: We'll do a follow-up session, i.e., office hours session, one week from the training. At this two-hour meeting you can demo your projects, ask additional questions or just talk about the future of Node.js.
Q: Are there any handouts/materials for the course? Should we buy books and pay extra?
A: The e-handouts are included in the registration price. They'll be in digital format, because it's more mobile and less wasteful.
Q: Do you need extra help with admin function during the course like a teacher assistant (TA) position?
A: Yes, if you're interested in helping out email us directly.
Q: Who is doing video recording? Can I opt-in?
A: The video recording for internal purposes and might be used as online training later. You can opt-in to be in the course (or opt-out) during the registration process.
Q: When is the next date/class/course out of the six that you've mentioned?
A: The exact sale/registration dates will be broadcasted via our email list.
Q: Do you do corporate training?
A: Yes! We taught at Cisco, Walmart Labs, Capital One and other compaines. Contact us via the form on this website..
