Explore the architecture of a web app, from client to server to database, and learn how Node.js runs JavaScript on the server to handle HTTP requests and responses.
Create your first node.js server by setting up the folder, initializing npm, creating index.js, using nodemon, and running a basic server on port 8000 to illustrate client server interactions.
Explore node.js core modules, especially the file system (fs), to read, write, append, and delete files, and to serve pages in response.
Explore path module theory and url module concepts in node.js, and learn to serve index.html and about.html with dynamic routing and cross-platform path handling.
create a server-static module to serve static content with node.js. implement a service-static function that maps request URLs to html files, setting content type and handling path joining.
Learn to handle get and post requests in Node.js and Express.js, validate signup forms, submit data via post, and extract parameters from the request body to greet users.
Explore Express.js as a minimal, flexible Node.js web framework that simplifies routing, middleware, and HTTP utilities, and learn to set up and run your first Express app.
Set up an express.js project in Visual Studio Code by creating an express.js folder, installing express, initializing npm, and creating index.js with module type to serve hello world on localhost:3000.
Explore http request handling in expressjs, from http protocol rules to routing with get, post, put, delete, and dynamic routes like /student/:id with request.params.
Explore how Express middleware sits between requests and routing, using app.use, next, and built-in middleware like express.json and static, plus third party checks for security, authentication, and validation.
