A PRACTICAL INTRODUCTION TO EXPRESSJS

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This learning path is designed to give you practical, hands-on experience of the ExpressJS framework so that you can use it with confidence for building applications.

We start by looking at the basic principles of the framework and how to start an ExpressJS server. You’ll also learn how routes can be handled, and you will have a go at creating some routes as well as a router to handle multiples routes. We’ll then move on to look at ExpressJS middleware, and you will create logic flow and integrate it as ExpressJS Middleware.

You’ll learn how to implement template engines in ExpressJS, and you will define a simple Mustache template that will be rendered by your ExpressJS application.

Finally, your newly acquired skills will be put to the test with a lab challenge in which you will be assessed on your ability to perform tasks to create, start and handle an ExpressJS application. By the end of this learning path, you’re going to be confident when using the ExpressJS framework for building applications.

As an added bonus, this path also includes a lab playground in which you can have a go at using ExpressJS to do whatever you, and experiment with the service.
