Introduction to Node JS | Node.js Tutorials for Beginners

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Learning Node.js is a great way to get started on your journey as a backend and full stack developer. I recommend knowing the foundations of the web before starting this tutorial series - HTML, CSS, and Javascript - especially knowledge of Javascript. This is a beginners tutorial series for Node.js, but not it is not for absolute beginners that do not already know the previously mentioned technologies. If you are new to Javascript, I recommend starting with my full 8 hour course tutorial on Vanilla Javascript here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5eknWyYrN-JkM0

@@DaveGrayTeachesCode Hello

[@ahmad-murery]

When I first read about Node.js (coming from the PHP land) I was very confused as I couldn't distinguish between the frontend / backend code, moreover we needed to establish an http server ourselves using the same language too, That was not what I used to do where I have a standalone http server, also I have a backend language using a different file type which makes it easy to figure out what I'm working on without having to look at the file tree. I hated it right away although I consider myself familiar with JS but I couldn't make the move, Node.js has new programing concepts to me that I couldn't grasp easily, it was a bad start for me but time after time I start realizing the fundamental concepts of Node.js and the fun begun. Thanks Dave,

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

I really like Node JS and how easy it becomes to work with. Thanks for checking it out and for commenting. I hope this series helps out! 🙏🚀

[@ahmad-murery]

​@@DaveGrayTeachesCode I was very busy recently but once I had some free time I couldn't help but watch it, And yes, I like Node.js too, but as I said it was a bad starting for me and probably at the wrong time, but now I feel comfortable with it, I'm sure it will help me out, if not because the new things I may learn about (since it's for beginners), I always admire your code structuring and communication skills, Wish you all the best, Thanks Dave,

[@moiraleon8744]

SUPER helpful course and refresher, thanks for sharing!

Easy and perfect. Thank you, Dave

[@DeepakGupta-hj2dv]

super excited please add this series node js express js mongo rest api and mern project

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Great! Yes, I will start out focusing only on Node.js for a foundation of knowledge, but I want to pull in Express and Mongo before this series is over. 💯

[@ratmouse088]

good stuff but would've been nice to point out how to use bash in the terminal vs the default powershell.

Hey Dave, do you know u are awesome?? I have been arguing with node.js lovers a long long time. my mind changed :)

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Thank you A M 😀🙏

[@haiderjaafer8164]

Great work keep going forward… can use this series to build robust and secured full restful api

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Thank you, Haider. Glad I could help!

[@subhashgowda8999]

in 16.40, you mentioned NodeJs is missing the fetch API. the fetch API is available :). Starting my node journey from this one :)

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Correct - but when I made this video about a year ago the fetch API wasn't available in Node.js. Glad it is now!

[@nemanjadjoric8765]

I am not greedy or cheap ip to by Udemy course . But I don't have time for 50 hours course. You Dave have that talent to put 50-70 hours course into just 7-8 hours without losing any quality (often times you put even more informations than those courses than the paid ones). You are an awesome instructor (I know I have been said that million times, but you always supprize me again and again positively of course). I am starting new job position as a Full stack JavaScript developer on Monday, and soon as I get my first salary I will buy you 10 coffees:)) (at least) :))

[@nemanjadjoric8765]

Sorry, I thought you have Patreon account (for coffees:))). Sorry for that .

[@uniquedurrani]

Hi Dave. In (Custom modules and import / export options) you mentioned 2 ways, the module.exports and the exports.add. Please give me your recommendation that which is better one to use? Or both are same? Thank you

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

I would need a timestamp to reference the exact spot of the video, but an export is an export - one way is not better than the other :)

[@diytechno-techniques5195]

Hey Dave, I've beeb following your full stack web development course and now I'm doing vanilla js projects. Can I learn backend development first from this series before learning frontend? Or should i learn frontend before backend?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

If you're learning JavaScript, you are already learning frontend. You can learn backend from this and the combination of both really helps.

I am really confused between Java and NodeJS for backend Could you suggest which one can i choose

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

You can use either. I prefer Node.js. When you know Javascript, you can use it everywhere. Some do not prefer this, but it is a choice based on opinion.

From what I understand they are a matter of preference. Although I think they are best practice. Code formatters like Prettier will automatically add them in too.
