- [Alex] We've covered many of the basics with Node and we looked at many more advance features as well. This resulted in creating a basic but robust chat application where I'm able to post a message and have it automatically synchronize across several different browsers using Socket.IO. With automatic notifications and updates, we also looked at database frameworks and providers such as our mLab database that's using MongoDb. And I hope you have a good understanding of the differences between synchronous and asynchronous code at this point and how Node shines along with JavaScript when it comes to working with asynchronous code and the various options we have for working with it such as callbacks, promises, async/await. And finally we ended up with a new way of development called test-driven development. If you enjoyed developing this chat application while working with both the front end and the back end, I suggest working with framework such as React or Angular to develop that further. And you can check out my course, Building Angular Apps and Node Apps with Authentication to explore these concepts further as well as introducing authentication into your application. Good luck with your future Node and web development and thank you for watching.
