Quick start to Express - Node.js Tutorial 1

In this video we explore a tool called express-generator by using it to create a simple web application.

First step is to install the express-generator npm module globally using npm.

Next we explore some of the options that the tool provides and then setup a new nodejs express project using the tool.

I have to say that this is the best explanation I've ever seen in a node tutorial. You put yourself in the shoes of a person who might not know a particular element of the subject that is obvious to most programmers. I am glad you do that, viewers with less knowledge can feel way more comfortable watching your tutorials. Good job.

Will jade still work with this or do i need to instal pug?

Jade has been renamed to pug, please install the latest version of pug instead of jade

Why do i need to run "npm start" instead of "node app.js"? Running the latter doesnt work.. but I dont know why
