​@@subhranshudas8862haha literally aye I noticed it when I was editing the video :)

[@hanacodes]

As someone who has built a couple of MERN applications following YT tutorials, but never COMPLETELY understood the backend code, I was left amazed by the quality and quantity of knowledge gathered in this video. First time I completed a 5+ hours long video in a hurry to see what else is left to learn. Many thanks to you James, you are very much appreciated for putting in your time and making your knowledge so publicly available. I would LOVE to see a more detailed, beginner friendly Docker course from you, as your way of explaining things is immaculate.

[@Linux_Prime]

Can you give me roadmap to learn these and specially backend? I am a newbie! 😅 I know I am gonna follow James yt courses because he's amazing but still asking 😅 Which backend language language and framework are better to learn? Thx!

[@gigkone]

I have been learning Javascript several months ago and I found this channel. What amazing content you make. Thank you so much. Backend is becoming clear now. I think i will follow all your contents from the frontend to the backend.

It reminds me of my initial days,It was the winters of 2022, I was in my first year of University and only knew frontend and was experimenting with node to create my first backend app. The first time my server fired on port 3000, it was truely once in a lifetime moment for me, I was so excited and happy to start my first server.

[@nazd5594]

Hi James, thank you so much for the excellent course! I've been waiting for this for a while now and just completed the course. I have two questions regarding deployment: 1. In a production environment, where would you deploy this dockerized app? Would everything go on a single platform (front end, back end, db) or separate platforms (especially with React front end)? 2. Would you use psql + prisma for a real-life project (like hyr.sh) or would you use something like Supabase? My worry is around exporting the data from the hosting platform as CSV or similar, not sure how easy this is with platforms like AWS amplify. Thanks again so much, I’ve learned a lot from you in the past 6 months!

[@Smoljames]

Those are both excellent questions :P 1. There are a few ways you could deploy an app like this; you could do it as you said with 3 entities, a frontend, a server and a db, or if you were clever you could have the server serve up a built frontend (react.js codebase for e.g.). In the second case, you would develop them as 3 entities but then when you build the react code you would put it in the server public folder and just have it serve that. That way you could avoid having to config a frontend setup. 2. It really depends on how much time you have. With hyr.sh I start off with firebase/supabase because it's faster to get up and running. Then eventually I move over to a custom system because it's way cheaper in the long run. I personally like firebase/supabase for my own stuff just cause it's low risk and easy and idc about the cost but in a company you'll typically find they have a custom setup! Also, chatgpt is amazing at explaining how do database backups on aws if you do want to try it! Again, awesome questions :D

Can you help me understand what's wrong? I had gone through th git repo to the root but still was unable to find any issue. Thank You again for this amazing content. Keep up the good work👍

Hi everyone, I am trying to follow step by step but for some reason Im stuck when I do the "node server.js" command I tried cmd and bash and I get this error. Can someone please explain to me what do I need to do ? C:\Users uben\Desktop\Node API ode_modules>node server.js node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1252 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users uben\Desktop\Node API ode_modules\server.js' at Function._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1249:15) at Function._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1075:27) at TracingChannel.traceSync (node:diagnostics_channel:315:14) at wrapModuleLoad (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:218:24) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:170:5) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:36:49 { code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND', requireStack: [] } Node.js v22.11.0 I asked Gemini too and said to make sure the file is in that directory which I think it is ..

[@Smoljames]

Is your terminal in the correct directory? The error log suggests that it's looking for the server.js file inside of the Node folder, and not your project folder

[@rubenbordea]

@Smoljames thank you for your reply James, the file server.js it's not in the "node_modules" which is in the main folder "Node API" it is just in the main folder "Node API" alongside package.json, package-lock.json and the subfolder "node_modules". Should I just move the file server.js into the "node_modules" so that the terminal can find it ? Or just delete everything and start from zero ?

[@Smoljames]

So it looks like on windows you need to provide a slightly more sophisticated path to the file. Are you using git bash or PowerShell?

[@Smoljames]

If you try the 'dir' command and it works, then it's the command prompt (PowerShell), otherwise try 'Ls' for git bash. These will show you the files available to you in your terminal directory, and consequently show you if your server.js file is visible to your terminal. If it's not, perhaps see if you can swap between the two! If you want you could also create an issue on the GitHub and screenshot what happens and I can help you there!
