Free certificationNode.js Certification
A free, verifiable certificate of completion for Coddy's Node.js course. You earn it by writing JavaScript that runs on a server, beside the editor in your browser: command-line programs with modules, files and async code, Express servers and middleware, REST APIs with validation, a MongoDB database, logins with hashed passwords, sessions and JWTs, and a NestJS API in TypeScript. There is nothing to install. Each of the six sections issues its own certificate, shareable on LinkedIn or your CV.
