CockroachDB Fundamentals for Node.js Developers

CockroachDB University has released a Node.js fundamentals course that teaches developers how to build modern applications using Node.js and CockroachDB. The two-hour course includes eight educational videos, nine hands-on labs, and one final exam. Participants will use free CockroachDB Serverless to create a full-stack ride-sharing application in TypeScript with Node.js and TypeORM. This tutorial is unique as it requires direct interaction with the database, helping developers understand how application performance is connected to the database. Prior experience with Node.js and application development is recommended, but familiarity with SQL is not necessary. Completion of this course can help developers demonstrate their distributed systems skills in interviews for companies like Roblox, Accenture, Netflix, Apple, and others.
