Build powerful and modern web apps that run smoothly on the webserver with ExpressJS.This course will guide you through building a real-world web application using NodeJS, Express, and MongoDB.You’ll start with using the Jade template library and Bootstrap framework to create clean and maintainable code for your app. You will then see how to put MongoDB to work, store data for your app, and incorporate best-practices such as modularization. You’ll go beyond the basics to include authentication, test-driven-development, and powerful time-saving tools to get the app ready for deploying. You will also explore CSS preprocessors and create RESTful services that make the best of MVC libraries and add that extra edge to your app.After completing this series, you’ll be ready to start building and deploying web applications of your own.About the Author

Other Templating Options Some people prefer other options besides Jade and Stylus. Many template options are available.
  • Mustache is a template engine used by many programming languages
  • Handelbars builds on Mustache with some JavaScript-specific features
  • LESS and SASS are easily incorporated into your project
Frontend Development e most helpful.
  • What kinds of pages will your application use
  • What modules can we incorporate to get the best results
