This course is for Node Red but with different insights than usual view angles. It’s not just to teach people how to use Node Red in normal use cases but to use it as a general purpose software development platform underpinned by FBP(Flow Based Programming) paradigm. As being mentioned in the openning introduction video clip the course tends to give people “finishing capability” and not “a fish”.
To maximize the benefit of this course the learners better have the knowledge of Linux, Web Service, HTTP, Database, Python and sense of integrating whatever useful technology together for a bigger view. This is particularly shown in the 3 chapters of building a full stack SPA(single page application).
The content of the course is step by step, gradually from basic stuff to advanced topics. First we will have a quick glance on how node red builds work flow to implememnt the classical hello world program. Then starting from the most basic things like the installation for various platforms, to flow editor usage, and to node catergory and their functionalities, then to advanced topics like running python code in node red or build your own nodes, and finally to the procedure of building a full stack single page application by combining all pieces together. Experience either in software development or test automation is a significant plus for learning well. Keeping mind open is a key to success as the whole course is not to teach each piece in super details but emphasize the thinking and methds to resolve issues in from of you.
- Anyone who does not have hard background on programming but need to develop software in a low/no code manner.
- Architects who want to land their design and thoughts onto a fast living prototype.
- Software developers/testers who are seeking new methods to boost the development effiency and low cost maintenance.
- Experts who need tools to offload them on handling complex system integration scenarios.
