<H2>Overview</H2>
Starting from a higher-level overview, instruction will cover the JavaScript language, Node.js event loop and async programming paradigms.
From there, we'll dive deeper into all aspects of the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle). We will be examining best practices for code organization, linting, testing and dependency management. We will also focus on more critical aspects for companies around licensing and compliance.
A strong focus of the course work surrounds application design patterns, with an emphasis on security. Finally, we'll look at the recommended best practices for deploying and monitoring Node.js applications in production.

<H2>Training Agenda</H2>
The full-day workshop includes two hands-on labs and a break for lunch (served on-site). 
1. Getting Started Introduction to best practices in JavaScript, a quick history of Node.js, and a quick example to get Node up and running
2. Code Organization and Standards
3. Testing and Test Coverage Defining the different test types (e.g. unit, integration, performance, etc), writing testable code, running tests, and code coverage.
4. Node modules and dependency management Introduction to modules, choosing npm vs Yarn, semantic versioning, and how to establish proper workflows and configuration
5. Error Handling
6. Microservices and API Design Including best practices for API design, authentication, and organization of routes
7. Stranger Danger: Addressing the Security Risk in npm Dependencies presented by Snyk
Open source modules, and especially npm, are undoubtedly awesome. However, they also represent an undeniable and massive risk. You’re introducing someone else’s code into your system, often with little or no scrutiny. The wrong package can introduce severe vulnerabilities into your application, exposing your application and your users data. The talk will use a sample application, Goof, which uses various vulnerable dependencies, which we will exploit as an attacker would. For each issue, we'll explain why it happened, show its impact, and – most importantly – see how to avoid or fix it.
8. Deployment and monitoring Including discussion of process management, containerization, and an overview of CI/CD
