О курсе

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course empowers you to build a modern, peer-to-peer file transfer application using WebRTC, combining practical coding with real-world networking concepts. You’ll explore file handling, chunking, memory management, and data compression techniques, gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge browser APIs. The curriculum emphasizes robust and efficient file transfer workflows, preparing you to tackle real-time application challenges confidently. You’ll begin by setting up the project environment, including HTML, CSS, Node.js, WebSocket connections, and client-server state management. Step-by-step guidance covers signaling, session validation, and debugging techniques, ensuring a strong foundation for real-time communication. Next, the course dives into WebRTC setup from scratch, exploring peer connections, data channels, ICE candidates, and transfer protocols. You’ll learn to read, chunk, compress, and stream files efficiently using FileReader, Blobs, and the Streams API, implementing progress tracking and error handling for seamless user experience. Ideal for web developers, software engineers, and IT professionals, this intermediate-level course requires basic JavaScript, HTML, and Node.js knowledge. It targets those seeking practical skills in real-time web applications and efficient file transfer solutions. By the end of the course, you will be able to set up WebRTC connections, manage client-server communication, implement chunked and compressed file transfers, utilize Streams API for large files, monitor memory, handle errors, and build a fully functional, dynamic peer-to-peer file transfer application.
