Week 8

Intro to Express

At this point, we have some grounding in frontend development, having learned the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and now React. We have had a bit of experience with requesting files from an API, but we still don’t know that much about how APIs work.

In this week’s lecture, we’ll cover how to build our own backend using Express. We’ll also learn about databases, and we’ll talk about how to create one of these with MongoDB and mongoose.
