Performance matters

The faster the better. Users don’t want to wait more than a few seconds for a web page to load. During this course, you will learn how you can optimize your website, and make sure that the load time of the page is as small as possible.

More about this course

Performance is a huge part of creating a web app. Websites are getting bigger and bigger, but users don’t want to wait more than a few seconds for a page to load. Server side rendering is a huge part during this course. We will create a back-end with Node.JS, a back-end language based on JavaScript. If you have no experience with Node, we encourage you to learn the basics. You can read here more about the requirements. After the course, you will be able to create a server side web app that renders fast as hell.
