         In this course we are going to create from scratch a complete online chess game. Also we are going to setup a MySQL database to store the users info (username, email, score, played games etc.) and we are going to use also Redis. We are going to set up a basic express server, and for our view engine we are gonna use ejs. For our server we are going to use different routes to displaying the pages and different routes for the api. We are going to use a lot of socket events so by the end of this course you’ll have mastered SocketIO. I will provide all the styling in the resources folder in the first section because this isn’t going to be a CSS tutorial, because I want this tutorial to help you focus on your javascript skills. What you will learn in this course:

1. How to create a server with nodejs

2. How to connect to your MySQL database from your nodejs server

3. How to connect to a Redis client from your nodejs server

4. How to use SocketIO for client-server communication

5. How to use VanillaJs to create or update DOM Elements

6. How to create a complete chess game using javascript

7. How to setup a MySQL database for your game

8. How to create and use MySQL procedures

9. How to create middlewares to authenticate users

10. How to store cookies

11. How to use jwt authentication

12. How to hash user passwords

*************************************************************************************************

Since some of the npm packages may have updated when you take this course, it would be better if you used the same versions with me. Also you should have locally installed MySQL and Redis. I use MySQL 8 and Redis 3.0.5 (I used msi installer for redis), but you can use newer versions for redis.
