Express Framework Basics: Secure Signup with Auth0 & Node.js

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course takes you step by step through setting up an Express server and creating secure authentication systems with Passport, Auth0, and Node.js. You will learn how to build and structure an application using SQLite3, including handling cryptographic hashing to securely store user data. By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a complete authentication system with various login options, such as Google, Facebook, and Auth0, that you can integrate into your web applications. You will start by learning how to initialize the Express project, set up the server, and configure the app with routing and EJS templating engines. Throughout the course, you will explore different aspects of user authentication, including local login strategies and integrating third-party authentication services like Google and Facebook. As you progress, you will work on building a real-world "ToDo" app, incorporating database management, routing, and user authentication into a full-stack application. This course emphasizes practical skills, allowing you to apply what you learn through hands-on projects and code-alongs.
