• Specialized Roles (IoT or Automation Developer): $90,000–$150,000 per year

Yes, this course is suitable for beginners. While basic knowledge of Node-RED is recommended, no prior JavaScript experience is required. The course starts with the fundamentals and gradually progresses to advanced topics.

JavaScript and Node-RED are widely used across various industries, including:

• Industrial Automation: For building and managing automated workflows.
• IoT (Internet of Things): For connecting and controlling smart devices.
• Energy and Utilities: For real-time data monitoring and control systems.
• Healthcare: For device integration and data management systems.
• Agriculture: For IoT-based precision farming and automation systems.

This course equips you with practical skills to:

• Build and optimize Node-RED workflows using JavaScript.
• Solve real-world problems in automation and IoT applications.
• Write efficient, maintainable, and scalable JavaScript code.
• Enhance your ability to integrate external libraries and APIs into Node-RED.
• Prepare for roles in IoT development, automation, and system integration.

You’ll need the following tools:

• Node-RED: Installed and running locally or on a server.
• A modern code editor: Such as Visual Studio Code.
• A web browser: For accessing Node-RED and debugging JavaScript code.

All additional resources and project files will be provided during the course.

The course duration depends on your pace. On average:

• Part-time learners (5–7 hours per week): 4–6 weeks
• Full-time learners (15+ hours per week): 2–3 weeks

Yes, the course includes hands-on projects that simulate real-world tasks, such as:

• Object storage and retrieval using arrays.
• Building conditional workflows with logic statements.
• Developing an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) using functions.
• Implementing multi-dimensional arrays and nested loops for data management.

Absolutely! JavaScript is a versatile language, and the concepts you’ll learn—such as functions, loops, and arrays—are foundational for programming in general. These skills can be applied to other fields like web development, game development, and software engineering.

While this course doesn’t include a formal certification, it provides a strong foundation to pursue:

• Node-RED Certification: Offered by industry-specific training programs.
• JavaScript Developer Certification (W3Schools).
• IoT Developer Certifications: Specialized programs focusing on IoT technologies.

Yes, JavaScript remains one of the most popular and widely used programming languages. Its integration with Node-RED and versatility in IoT, automation, and web development ensure its continued relevance for years to come.

Yes, this course is designed to provide practical, job-ready skills. You’ll gain the confidence to build and optimize Node-RED workflows, tackle real-world automation and IoT challenges, and write scalable JavaScript code for professional projects.
