What We Will Do An introduction to writing an HTTP web server using the JavaScript language on the serverside. This is also known as Node.js. We will leverage the library Express.js to build a basic server.
Requirements This lesson will be for beginners, but requires basic knowledge of JavaScript/Node.js programming language syntax and constructs.
Also, please install Node.js in your machine in advance. We will also assume you already have it installed.
Knowledge of how to open a terminal (aka command line, shell) is also necessary. On Windows you could use CMD.exe or PowerShell or Git Bash. On Linux, any Bash-like shell. On macOS, similar to Linux (zsh is okay).
We recommend a text editor / IDE such as Visual Studio Code to write the code.
How We Meet We will meet on Zoom. Link is available in the event page in the day of the event.
TROLLING NOT ALLOWED No disruptions will be tolerated. Anyone trolling will be kicked out.
