Express Yourself with Node.JS

JavaScript has come a long way since being used solely for drop-down menus and annoying pop-ups.

 

From nodejs.org:
"Node.js® is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices."

 

We’ll explore what all of this means by using Express.js, a web framework for Node.js by building the “15-minute” blog, touching on Express.js’s middleware  concept and well as some of the building blocks of Node.js including NPM.
