Beginning Modern JavaScript Development with Microservices, WebRTC, and React

Video description

JavaScript has now become a universal development language. Whilst offering great benefits, the complexity of the entire ecosystem can be overwhelming.

In this course, we will take a look at the libraries in JavaScript that aid in building applications that have a microservices-based architecture, have features like audio and video calling, real-time score updates, multi-faceted search options and more. We will not only look at building these applications but also explore a number of industry-standard best practices.

With coverage of both server-side and front-end development, this course will provide attendees with the skills required to develop cutting-edge web applications that stand the test of time.
