Become a Modern Web Developer

Node.js provides a cross-platform server-side runtime for running JavaScript, and Express adds a minimal web framework for routing and HTML rendering.

Configure express routing with simple get handlers and clean urls, using app.get to respond with hello world for the home route and a /routing path.

Learn to bootstrap a template to get pages up quickly, download and integrate a bootstrap template, customize it, and use node and express to inject data and render pages.

Configure a static directory in express to serve public resources, allowing bootstrap assets, css, and javascript to load via two static routes.

Harness Bouwer to manage bootstrap and jQuery assets, replacing hard-coded references and enabling version upgrades, with npm handling backend assets and a clean project structure.

Explore how gold serves as a powerful task manager for your projects. Use npm to bring golpe into the project and configure golpe to automate mundane tasks.

Configure golpe with npm to automate injecting assets into html pages and streamline repetitive setup tasks. Watch javascript files for changes and automatically restart the server to test updates.

Learn a sophisticated routing approach for a web app by adding pages and routes, configuring navigation, and moving routing code into separate files for clarity.

Wire the events pages to Express and Node, turning the events list into hyperlinks to a single event page via routes and ids, and replace hardcoded data with a database.

Explore Express routing features, add two new pages, and configure routes to navigate the app, then move routing code into new files to promote separation of concerns.

Continue as a modern web developer by expanding the current Express project, exploring NPM packages, implementing web services, and publishing your project to the web through documentation-driven learning.
