Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Its crazy how much express cuts down on the boiler plate code. I went along with your Node.js video with the switch case etc to serve files which worked out to being around 55 lines of code, express accomplished the same functionalities in 7 lines.
I don't work with Node and don't have any plans to. However, I still watched the whole video just because 1) your effort; 2) your skills; 3) I always learn something from you - in this case, one of the things was the Postman extension. Sure I learned a bunch of other little cool stuff. During the video, I couldn't escape thinking about what drives you into making these videos with such a level of care. Amazing. Thanks a lot.
Brad, your work is a gift for many aspiring and experienced developers alike. Thank you for all your hard work and for all that you give free of charge! I've had the benefit of several educators, such as yourself, and excellent resources like this over the years. That I am software engineer today has been made possible, in part, because of things like this. Keep up the good work!
So for full 3 years, I was procrastinating learning Backend, and finally I saw this and thought to give it a try, I loved it, in just a weekend, I got the basic idea of how the backend works, I am going to buy a full course, and develop MERN applications, Thank you Brad! you are great
Despite being a Senior DevOps Software Engineer, I always learn something new when Brad teaches. This crash course encapsulates the nuances of building an API, even if it’s a multi-billion dollar API. It all boils down to this basic concept. Thank you, Brad ❤
Hi Brad, loving your tutorials this year, especially on React, Node.js, and Express.js! I've been following along and was wondering if you could consider doing a series on MongoDB next. It would be awesome to see how we can integrate it with these technologies for a full MERN stack project!
Oh my GOD.... you dare you to be so amazing!!!. I took NodeJs Crash course.. and made a whole scraper for 5 to 6 websites... which takes data using "RAW NODE JS" .. without express, it was hell of work. But I really like working from the scratch, so I really enjoyed. Now, this expressJS is super sweet to me.. I have been pausing the video before any new thing.. try it myself and then let the video play.. really loving it. ❤
Quite new to your work and channel and currently operating a career switch to web dev. This content and the Node.js crash course are perfect! It is kind of overwhelming but hopefully after applying what I've learned here to my school project, I will understand it better. Thank you so much for such high quality and well delivered content! 🙏
Dear Brad, I am one of your subscribers and always find new things to learn whenever I watch you. I was wondering if there is a chance to make a website using javascript as a front-end and expressJS as a backend and it will be lovely if you can make it with authentication and sessions. I hope to see that courses coming up because you are among the best that can deliver information... Best regards
Hey Brad, Codeium is exactly following your tutorial. When you mistakenly used ES modules instead of CommonJS, the Codeium first generated the export default posts; and then it changed it into module.exports = router; 🤣🤣
I worked with Express but got so tired of having to work for hours setup basic stuff like login/logout/forget password and so on, so I moved to the more active in development complete framework, Laravel, and it's working great!
Hey Brad, pretty informative course, thank you. Wanted to ask about watching. --watch is not working on virtual environments such as vagrant (at least I could not make it working). I ended up using nodemon with polling. Maybe you have tested this feature with such environments?
brad. Thank you for the video. Please do complete mern course. React, Node and Express. I will be looking forward to MongoDB course. Nextjs course too. Again thank you for these videos.
I am very old subscriber of this channel and I remember the guy who was too young. But it has now been a long time that I haven't seen him. Where is he?
thanks for the video, its very good for the beginners.. i have a request, can you make a beginner friendly video on Clean Code ? about repositiory pattern ? I mean how can we implement to our Backend Typescript project ? I have watched other videoes but couldnt understand a bit.. since you are very good in teaching may be you can help ?
Please make a video on auto generating swagger docs for express, i tried it but i was not able to give any custom tags for the swagger docs , video on that would be helpful
Im trying to code along with this video, but at 36:00, I am getting this error whenever the req url is set to /posts/not-in-posts: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading: 'id') Has anyone got the same thing and have a fix for this?
Oops, I figured out my issue... When I had hardcoded the posts array, I copied and pasted the json, but unbeknownst to me, there were extra commas between the objects.
Really would prefer the errors not be left in as I prefer to pause and try to complete the examples myself. The switching between common js and module js syntax, for example, caused Brad to make an error exporting which wasn't obvious until he saved, but since I was trying to complete it myself with his errors still in the code from following along, it was confusing. Errors being left in to illustrate a point is one thing but I don't get the sense that Brad is sprinkling in errors like easter eggs but rather that he is winging it at times and then not editing out his errors.
With all due respect, love your efforts, however I don't think you have explained enough when it comes to middlewares' order of execution and its short-circuit trait and how middlewares together with route handler fit into the picture nicely (such as if route handler does a .json or .send it wouldn't pass into the next middleware and the order middlewares are defined matter).
Coming from the Laravel world, this feels like a huge downgrade, but this video is simply amazing for anyone looking to learn Express. Having knowledge in Laravel/Java made it easy for me to grasp the concepts. Thanks, mate
hey men i really love the like your video it is deep and very helpful but right now i really struggle about file management like every time when i want to do some practice i always install react app again and again specially i am very confused by the installation of necessary files like nodemon , express ,node ,buble and run my file on terminal and like so on things really hard for me so can you make a tutorial video on how to handle files and folders, do we have to install every time when we want run our app or so many things please?!
@brad can you please share the github repository for the express-crash so that we can take a reference since your repository has old file and the github link which you shared for express-crash is not working.
I just connected to a different network and whenever I make requests using Postman I am getting an Error: Invalid IP address: undefined. Can anyone help me? I am totally new to this.

Pls i really want to ask a question since you have watched the full course, did he talk about JWT for authentication and authorization
This videos coming out right when I'm learning React and Node.js/Express feels like it's heaven-sent!

I wish I could get better at programming. No one ever has the right answer
@@the000gamer96there's almost always more than one right answer
Thanks for this great combo of a refresher and important pointers.
You're the OG of TH-cam web tutorials. I'm a fan of your style of videos. Looking forward to what I assume will be a revamped Mongo crash course soon.
dude is making mern stack course by dropping react , node now express js 👍
You made me realise that 😊
Do nestjs
now I expect MongoDB crash course dropping next
I just want to express my thanks for your hard work! Looking forward to watching this.
Ha. Express. Get it?
@@lachieyoung1374 fine fine you're cool 😂

Every single concept is explained nicely and easily. Loved it to the moon and back ❤
thanks for this man! needed the as i’ve been learning aws for about 5 months. just started coding again and need to get the rust of my shoulders!
love it Brad, thanks for this, very timely. Would love to see a deep dive on user auth and or working with sqlite db using express next!
Thanks for making this. Wanted a crash course to revise my concepts and this helped a lot!
this tutorial teached me much more than express, thanks alot!
Thank you sir
I have been waiting for this 🙌🔥
Thank Brad, I've long been waiting for this
Hey Brad, can't find the source code! (link in the desc seems broken). Also thanks a lot for the video❤
The GOAT for long form programing courses
Thanks for this I am learning NodeJS and ExpressJS now and this video is i need
Thanks, I am about to learn Node/Express and this is much helpful at this moment.

this revamp was much needed !!! Thank You so much
Thank you very much sir.... Your content is a GEM.
At 1:36:00, you are just adding empty divs, then showing all posts, which looks correct because it kind of does same thing.
Amazing course brad, would love if you would also make a crash course on Nest JS in the future.
After learning Django and a bit of Laravel, Express seems so lightweight. I really like it. Thanks Brad!
it isnt
The git repo link doesn't work
Really good explanation. please have have a short course of nest js next time
Outstanding Express.js Crash Course ❤❤❤
Excellent course, a Typescript or PHP version of the API would be amazing.
thanks a lot bro, i was requesting you on your last node js crash course for express crash course. it is superb amazing tutorial as usual
Great tutorial, very useful.
I wish you also included database, too.

brad. Thank you for the video. Please do complete mern course. React, Node and Express. I will be looking forward to MongoDB course. Nextjs course too. Again thank you for these videos.
Thanks Brad. You are surely a blessing
Thank you very much Brad... Excellent tutorial as always. The github link is not working
Can you create or Re-Vamp video on Go + Gin or any Go back-end framework please! Love your tutorial
This time MERN courser with TYPESCRIPT please
Don't endorse express. But watching because the teacher is Brad.
why
I think you can also get the dirname and filename now with ES6 modules by doing import.meta.dirname and import.meta.filename
Fantastic Brad, thanks for sharing
Nice work, man! When we could expect your Laravel course?
I am very old subscriber of this channel and I remember the guy who was too young. But it has now been a long time that I haven't seen him. Where is he?

Thank u so much please do one rust course end to end
Hi Brad and thanks.
is it better to use "node:path", instead of 'path'? And use it for all built-in methods just not to confuse with npm libs?
Interesting your opinion.
Nicely done! Thank you!
Had me at "request dot boody"
Please make a video on auto generating swagger docs for express, i tried it but i was not able to give any custom tags for the swagger docs , video on that would be helpful
I wonder is it only me or is there anyone else that favorite EJS over React?
Damn, Brad, I love you ✊🏾
You're an awsome teacher!
Sakto! Thanks for this :>
Thank you for your labor!
Can you do a revamp of NestJS??
Im trying to code along with this video, but at 36:00, I am getting this error whenever the req url is set to /posts/not-in-posts:

I wouldn't include the @route comment in your controller. The controller doesn't care about what route it lives at.
Good video and very informative for new learners
Great!!!
It would be better if you could update your angular course as well...
Convenient to learn express
Please make one for NestJS :") Wanting to get into a backend framework which has almost everything setup :"D
Nestjs docs pretty much have everything you need, check them out. Its really not that scary
Hey Brad, I can't find the code on your github. Thanks for the great tutorial and wish you the best!
Great Sir 🎉🎉

When everyone praising Hono? Brad is pushing express back on it feet
thank you for your efforts
Thanks for sharing.😊

Express + firebase is Good combination in backend?
Code from video now is invalid....
when will the mongodb crash course (2024 revampp ) will come ??
crazy good video all I can say
Oh hey I've been meaning to review express, it's been a while
What kind of bot ahh comment this is!
@aaratbatra4676 I wish I was a bot...I wouldn't need a job or a place to live
You're talking like express changed a lot in recent years 😂
@@gradientO wasnt it in maintainance mode, recomending users to use koajs, just a while back?
hey men i really love the like your video it is deep and very helpful but right now i really struggle about file management like every time when i want to do some practice i always install react app again and again specially i am very confused by the installation of necessary files like nodemon , express ,node ,buble and run my file on terminal and like so on things really hard for me so can you make a tutorial video on how to handle files and folders, do we have to install every time when we want run our app or so many things please?!
@brad can you please share the github repository for the express-crash so that we can take a reference since your repository has old file and the github link which you shared for express-crash is not working.
The specified URL to the repository does not work. Can you revise it please?
Amazing tutorial
what if I want my routes to be "/about" instead of "/about.html" then i would have to create a dedicated route for each page, right?
I prefer the Rapid API extension over postman. Hardly anyone uses it.
Greetings! Please tell me which vs code theme are you using?
Excellent .
Thank you very much ❤
do module.exports=router in case export default router isnt working.
I just connected to a different network and whenever I make requests using Postman I am getting an Error: Invalid IP address: undefined. Can anyone help me? I am totally new to this.
thanks brad
GG Man thank u so much im completed this course crash with nodejs ..
I wish if you could make something about cookie and sessions authentication
This should help me!
do we still need express with frameworks like nextjs?
Next mongodb then mern project 😍
Amazing 💥💥
