This course will cover fundamentals and advanced concepts of Node Js. My goal is to make you self sufficient in developing backend even if you're starting with zero knowledge.

1. Start by assessing the current capabilities and formulating a personalized learning program.
2. Each session contains a small theory section followed by coding practice.
3. Build and host an e-commerce/blog website backend.
