This course will cover Html5, Css3, JavaScript, Express, Node, MDB5, MongoDB. A full-stack app that is easy to learn and to build your knowledge towards other frameworks. Going into MERN from this will be an easier learning transition for you. The Model, View, and Controller setup are very similar to how the other frameworks are geared as well. Upon completing this course, you will be able to create your own express app and start launching apps for clients in no time.

This course focuses more on the server-side and handling data. It does go into Html, Css, and JavaScript, but it is encouraged to look into w3schools for more on JavaScript. Either that or you can go on the javascript website to find other documentation as well. Reasons for learning express;

- It is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

- Express provides a thin layer of fundamental web application features, without obscuring Node.js features that you know and love.

Express is a routing and middleware web framework that has minimal functionality of its own: An Express application is essentially a series of middleware function calls.

Middleware functions are functions that have access to the request object (req), the response object (res), and the next middleware function in the application’s request-response cycle. The next middleware function is commonly denoted by a variable named next.

Middleware functions can perform the following tasks:

• Execute any code.

• Make changes to the request and the response objects.

• End the request-response cycle.

• Call the next middleware function in the stack.
