Coding with Node.js: Building and Learning Backend

Join us every Friday for Coding with Node.js, a collaborative coding session designed to strengthen your backend development skills in a fun, hands-on environment. Expect live coding, pair work, and discussions on APIs, databases, authentication, performance, and real-world Node.js use cases. Whether you’re new to backend development or an experienced engineer, you’ll find a supportive space to practice and grow.

And yes—complimentary coffee and tea are on us ☕.

💲 General Entry — $5 (2 hours)

Covers space, equipment, and refreshments. Think of it like buying a coffee, but instead of just caffeine, you’re also leveling up your backend skills and network.

💲 Pair with an Advisor — $30 (2 hours)

Pair 1:1 with an experienced Node.js advisor for deeper guidance. This is essentially backend mentorship at just $15/hour—far below the typical $80–$150/hour rate. Get personalized help with your server architecture, debugging, and best practices.

Both options give you more than just a study session—you’ll code with peers and mentors who are invested in your growth.
