i love this kind of content, it's like having a cool older cousin of yours explaining stuff to you

[jithin_zac]

Basics like this are often ignored! Thanks for the amazing content!!!

I have been working with Node for about 3 years now and I have always used express. This video is all I needed to explore how all these functionalities have been abstracted from the actual core packages of Node. Thank you!

Bro the way you explain concepts makes me fall in love with technology, specifically backend tech. Throughout time I lost that passion I once had, and did it only just as a career. But I want to bring the same old passion back. Which you are helping me.

He's the one teaching yet says "you probably know this better than I do.". Nasser knows his audience. We have spent years with little idea of how little we knew.

Bro this one short video just put so many things together for me in my brain, I appreciate you!

[AkshayKumar-kzzh]

I started to learn node.js a few days back and this video drops in. Thanks man!

Deno's core built-in listen and HTTP API is even more beautiful. It doesn't rely on callback-pattern, which can become very unwieldy if you haven't introduced a strategy to handle it early on in development but rather uses async iterators for iterating and gives you much more control over the control flow of your connection handlers.

But I'd still want to use something a bit more high-level that allows me to define routes and handlers outside a loop and automatically filter and orchestrate requests based on pre-conditions. Working with a low-level API for application code is not feasible. They are great as building blocks for higher level concepts, though.

This is awesome. I started with Node through Express, then Fastify. Never really dived into this part

[paroxyzm]

Thank you Hussein. Keep up with this kind of Basic content, love it!

[axaysushir]

Awesome man, I doesn't know those details about Node.js. Now go deep down to understand how these things works under the hood

[amans]

It brings more clarity about what I'm doing, i like these sessions..

[SamualN]

never touched express or similar
I do like how intuitive the built in modules can be

[itsnobledean]

I'm completely new to node and to this channel, but after watching this video in its entirety, it seems like this guy needs to be putting out a node.js/express.js course, or maybe he has one already. He knows his stuff, and is very easy to understand.

[georgelinardis]

What an awesome video with very good explanations and under the hood researching, great job!

[ionelCristianLupu_]

Love this type of content. Looking forward to see about QUIC as it's built in nodejs as well

[ZelenoJabko]

akka-http has even more beautiful design. Atop of that, it has beautful routing declaration API. It is also type safe, which allows usage without reading any documentation.

[marslogics]

quality content, please keep this coming.

[GreenMarkoulis]

Great video which shows in practice what happens under the hood. Keep it up Hussein!

[siddharth]

This is such a good explanation of this simple concept. Thanks for the amazing video. And please do make a video on express also.
