Full stack JS track

Does this cover authentication for building a website where you can have users log in?

Hi Paul Messmer

If you have a look at the course outline for the FullStack JavaScript Track, you can see that it does cover the backend aspect of a website, including "Node.js" and "User Authentication With Express and Mongo."

Hi Paul, There doesn't appear to be a specific course or workshop on authentication in the Fullstack JavaScript track itself, but there are separate JS-related content items: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/oauth-authentication-with-passport https://teamtreehouse.com/library/user-authentication-with-express-and-mongo https://teamtreehouse.com/library/react-authentication

Authentication may be covered inside some of the track's content, as well, just not obvious by the titles.

Hope this helps!
