Learn Express

What it is for

Express is the framework most Node.js developers meet when they start building APIs, and this course aims to turn that familiarity into working back-end apps. It is pitched at intermediate learners rather than complete beginners.

Outcomes to expect

• Structuring a server-side application around routes
• Building APIs that return data for other applications to consume

Next steps

After finishing, you should be ready to build a small API of your own and to decide which supporting libraries a project needs. Pairing the course with a side project of your own is a practical way to make the lessons stick.

The course is short enough to fit around other commitments, so it works as a focused step between introductory reading and larger projects.
