- [Instructor] This course provides
a beginner to intermediate level overview of Express.
Express is a Node.js framework that utilizes JavaScript.
You absolutely do not need to be an expert
or senior level developer, but this course does require
a basic understanding of JavaScript.
Advanced knowledge is not a requirement for this course.
In these first few videos,
we will cover installation for Node.js and Express,
so don't worry if you do not currently have these installed.
If you're just starting out,
this will be a great way to broaden your knowledge
across the back-end stack.
If you have a few years
of development experience under your belt,
this will add another skill to your existing arsenal.
We will primarily be working in a text editor,
terminal, and web browser.
You should be familiar with how to use
your favorite text editor and your terminal.
For this course, I will be working primarily
in Visual Studio Code, or VS Code,
and using its built-in terminal.
Please note that you can use
whatever editor and terminal program
that you are most comfortable with for this course.
That's all you'll need for this course.
Now let's get started.
