IEEE Day Event 1: Session on Node.js

The Node.js session, led by Alen P. Aji, Web lead IEEE SB SJCET and Intern at IEEE Kerala Section provided a comprehensive introduction to backend development using Node.js. The session began with an overview of JavaScript’s role in modern web development and transitioned into setting up a Node.js environment. Alen guided participants through creating a basic server using Node.js, explaining how to handle HTTP requests and responses.

The session also covered the use of Express.js, a popular web application framework for Node.js, showing how to build RESTful APIs efficiently. Alen demonstrated key concepts through live coding examples, illustrating how to route requests, manage data with middleware, and integrate databases. Throughout the session, participants were encouraged to ask questions, making it an interactive learning experience.

By the end, attendees gained practical skills in developing dynamic, server-side applications, with the knowledge to continue exploring Node.js in their own projects. Alen’s engaging approach allowed participants to grasp complex concepts and apply them in practical scenarios, enhancing their backend development skills.
