Express Tutorial: Core APIs for Web Services

Using express in a node environment
Let's build a web application server! 🚩

Introducing the lecture 💻

Always stand in the user's shoes
Coding Stronger 🦾

Regardless of which language you learn or which framework you use to implement a service, developers must always put themselves in the user's shoes. The first steps of using a new framework in a new environment are always challenging and unfamiliar, and a growing number of developers are finding it difficult to implement a single service in various ways.

The most significant feature of this course is that it repeatedly implements the same service using a variety of tools and methods. You'll select and implement tools appropriate to the situation, focusing on the most critical aspects of a server's role. This will provide a solid foundation for future deployments in new environments.

A sneak peek of what you'll learn ✏️

1. Hello, Node/Express

The Node environment is gaining popularity due to its ability to compile JavaScript on the server. Learn about this Node-based server, build your own, and communicate directly with clients. You'll also learn about the template engines ejs and pug for Express.

2. Hello, CRUD (with NoSQL, RDB)

Choosing between NoSQL and RDB databases has long been a developer's predicament. Each database has distinct advantages, and each offers unique advantages based on the development environment and situation. We'll explore MongoDB (NoSQL) and PostgresQL (RDB), which have recently gained traction in various fields.

3. User Authentication

Recently, for reasons such as security, convenience, and scalability, there's a growing trend toward implementing authentication for popular platforms via APIs when signing up for a site. However, even with OAuth, you need to understand how to maintain the state of the site, retrieve the authentication results, and manage them using sessions and tokens.

4. Scale-up & Bonus Lecture

In addition to the core server components, we've added a bonus lecture on introducing servers and databases to your project, which many of you requested in previous lectures. Please refer to "Building an MBTI Site with Panko ."
