Getting Started With Express

Learn the first steps to building a web server with the minimalistic Node.js framework Express.

This course is intended for people who have never touched the framework. A basic knowledge of Node.js / JavaScript is required. Some exposure to fundamental database principles is highly advised.

The course provides an quick overview of the framework and gets you started with building a JSON RESTful API with the four basic data operations of CREATE, READ, UPDATE, and DELETE ("CRUD"). To focus on the framework constructs, database configuration and maintenance is not covered in this course; no ORM is used nor any other third-party libraries other than express itself.
