What is Node.js?
Node.js is an open-source, server-side JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code outside of a web browser. It is built on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is the same engine that powers the Google Chrome browser.
Learners will be required to work with Node.js to write both client-side and server-side applications using JavaScript.
When will learners need access to Node.js?
Learners must be able to use node.js by month 1 on the Software Engineering programme.
What access will learners need to Node.js?
Apprentices will be required to install node.js locally on their devices. Please, therefore, test the URL https://nodejs.org/en/download and ensure this is available for download within your organisation if required.
What data will be uploaded to Node.js?
Multiverse places a great deal of emphasis on data governance and ensures learners are taught how to responsibly work with sensitive and personal data before introducing them to writing any code.
Since learners must apply their knowledge to actual business cases, it is crucial that they have access to internal datasets while following any organisational guidelines. You can help support the learner to derive maximum value from the programme by establishing clear guidelines for data management and documenting any internal data governance policies and processes.
