RESTful APIs with Node and Express

“

- [Instructor] Have you mastered the frontend world, but feel like you're still missing some knowledge around building a backend? Have you been looking for a simple way to learn how to build an API with Node and Express? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you've come to the right place. Building an API leveraging Node and Express libraries can be intimidating the first time you try it. But I'm here to simplify and demystify the whole process. Hi, I'm Emmanuel Henri and I've been working with Node, Express, and JavaScript for a very long time. And it is my great pleasure to help you learn about building an API with these frameworks. First, we'll explore the tools used for testing our API and its database. Next, we'll set the stage for our API with our initial Express server and routing endpoints. Then we'll set up our Mongo database along with its schema. And finally, we'll create each API endpoints to add, update, delete, and pull data from our backend. So if you're ready to build your own API, fire up your favorite editor and let's get started.
