Intro to Express.js - Full Stack Web Dev Bootcamp Day 7 (2024-06-26)

In this lecture we learn to build a backend HTTP server with the Node.js programming language.
JavaScript had its origins in the browser, however one day someone came up with the idea of using it outside the browser, as a general-purpose programming language, creating what is now called as Node.js. So whenever you hear of Nodejs, you can think of it as serverside JavaScript.
The lecture teaches how to use the library Express.js to build a web server API that serves data in the JSON format.
