Description
Since its introduction in 2009, Node JS has exploded in popularity and is now the industry standard for JavaScript-based server systems. In conjunction with the popular web framework Express JS, Node has made it possible for full stack developers to create scalable, fast, sophisticated web apps using one primary language on both the front end and back end - JavaScript.

Handling POST data
Rendering Dynamic Data
Styling and Images
Middleware
Deployment
By the end of this series, you will understand the basics of a Node/Express project and be able to deploy a full-functional web app. This is a great starting point for anyone looking to learn more about full stack development.

I am a full stack freelance developer based in NYC. Since 2012, I have worked with early stage startups mostly building MVPs and specific features for existing apps. I started out with iOS (Obj-C and Swift) then moved on to Node/Express, Angular and finally React/Redux. I am also well versed in the dev-ops side as it relates to AWS. My standard stack consists of EC2 instances running Ubuntu 16.0.4 and a Node server. When I am not programming I'm either updating my fantasy team or pondering the meaning life.
