Overview

Learn how to build dynamic web applications with Express, a key component of the Node/JavaScript development stack. In this hands-on guide, author Ethan Brown teaches you the fundamentals through the development of a fictional application that exposes a public website and a RESTful API. You’ll also learn web architecture best practices to help you build single-page, multi-page, and hybrid web apps with Express.

Express strikes a balance between a robust framework and no framework at all, allowing you a free hand in your architecture choices. With this book, frontend and backend engineers familiar with JavaScript will discover new ways of looking at web development.

  • Create webpage templating system for rendering dynamic data
  • Dive into request and response objects, middleware, and URL routing
  • Simulate a production environment for testing and development
  • Focus on persistence with document databases, particularly MongoDB
  • Make your resources available to other programs with RESTful APIs
  • Build secure apps with authentication, authorization, and HTTPS
  • Integrate with social media, geolocation, and other third-party services
  • Implement a plan for launching and maintaining your app
  • Learn critical debugging skills

    This book covers Express 4.0.
