Essential Node.js

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

This course introduces Node.js to the experienced developer who wants more control, higher performance, effective security, and cross-platform support. You will learn how Node.js is built from a small but powerful core and how these low-level constructs can be used together to build complete, modern Web applications. You will learn how to use Express and Passport frameworks to build secure Web servers. Learn multiple ways of structuring large code bases and automating the development and operations tasks so that maintenance and deployments are as repeatable and consistent as possible.

This course uses MongoDB, Mongoose ODM(Object Document Mapper), and Mocha unit testing framework.

Note: You are required to bring your own laptop.

Introduction to R for Data Scientists

R is a functional programming environment for business analysts and data scientists. It’s a language that many non-programmers can easily work with, naturally extending a skill set that is common to high-end Excel users. It’s the perfect tool for when the analyst has a statistical, numerical, or probabilities-based problem based on real data and they’ve pushed Excel past its limits.

Geared for data scientists or engineers with potentially lighttechnical background or experience, R for Data Scientists is a hands-on R course that explores common scenarios that are encountered in analysis, and presents practical solutions to those challenges. Throughout the course, special attention is paid to data science theory including AI grouping theory. A discussion of using R with AI libraries like Madlib is also included. Students who want additional topics and extended hands-on exposure might consider the 5-day extended version of this course, Mastering R for Data Scientists.

Fast Track to Spring 4.2

In this course, you will learn what the Spring Framework is in terms of today’s systems and architectures, and how to use Spring in conjunction with other technologies and frameworks. This course includes complete coverage of all new features in Spring 4.2.

The Spring framework is an application framework that provides a lightweight container that supports the creation of simple-to-complex components in a non-invasive fashion. Spring’s flexibility and transparency is congruent and supportive of incremental development and testing. The framework’s structure supports the layering of functionality such as persistence, transactions, view-oriented frameworks, and enterprise systems and capabilities.

This course targets Spring 4.2, which includes full support for Java 8 and JEE 7 (earlier versions of Java and JEE continue to be supported). Spring supports the use of lambda expressions and method references in many of its APIs.

Spring makes JEE development easier. Spring simplifies common tasks and encourages good design based on programming to interfaces. Spring makes your application easier to configure and reduces the need for many JEE design patterns. Spring puts the OO design back into your JEE application, and it integrates nicely with many view technologies and the new features of HTML5.
