Node and Express Server Tutorial

Traditionally, JavaScript is a browser-side programming language. However, Node.js gives you the ability to run JavaScript files on the server-side. Express is a library for Node.js, that allows you to make requests to different "endpoints" and get a response back.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  1. Set up a project using Node.js and NPM
  2. Send JSON data using Express
  3. Test your API using PostMan
  4. Secure your routes with middleware

Let’s get started!
