After years, I still come back to your videos. Doesn't matter which one. I just come back to them. They solve so many issues. When I first discovered you I wasn't working with JS at all. But enjoyed watching your videos. Now I am working with JS. So I am back

[MrGreg]

What a great series man, I'm grateful everyone can use resources like this. Going from knowing almost 0 JS to deploying my app was very satisfying.
One update though: if you get this error like me: "npm ERR! Missing script: "start"", add this to the end of your package.json file, before the finishing curly brace:

, "scripts": {
"start": "node index.js"
},
