Build a JSON REST API in Node.js- Learn backend development by building a Javascript web service!
In this final video of my Node.js Javascript series, we'll be building two different HTTP server projects: one that returns a string submitted by the user via POST request transformed into upper case, and one that returns time passed in on a querystring as a JSON object.
Please either enjoy or forgive my lockdown hair. 😉
Some of the things you'll learn:
📖 How to use the Node.js documentation
😖 How to find help using search (Google or my favorite DuckDuckGo) and StackOverflow
🧐 How to write readable, maintainable code
🗣 How to respond to an HTTP request
❓ How to parse a querystring
🛠 How to debug code that doesn't work
🤝 How to use a third-party library
🕰 Just what the heck is Unix time anyway?
