Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Paul O'Fallan, and welcome to my course Building Command Line Applications in Node. js. I've been working in Node for more than 8 years and I'm really excited to spend some time focusing on command line applications. Most of us use command line applications every day, some of which have likely been written in Node. js. In this course, we're going to demystify the process of building a CLI in Node. We'll start by covering how to manage configuration information, including storing sensitive data. We'll then move to interacting with the user. We'll wrap up by publishing a finished product to both npm and Docker Hub. By the end of this course, you should have a good foundation for building your own Node. js-based CLI. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with Node and JavaScript in general. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn how to create your own CLI with the Building Command Line Applications in Node. js course at Pluralsight.
