A lot of people have asked this question, and I want to address it, I should've mentioned this in the beginning of the video:

"Do I need to learn Node.js first before learning Express.js?"

Remember that Node.js isn't anything special, it's just a runtime environment that you can simply use to execute JavaScript code on the server-side, or your local computer, instead of the browser. If you already know JavaScript from using it on the client-side, then you honestly will not have any trouble with understanding JavaScript on the server-side. There will be differences, because the browser has its own APIs, and Node.js has its own APIs (remember, browsers have their own JS engine that can interpret and execute code).

All you are doing is just writing JS code and having it run on the server side, aka your local machine, and you use Node.js to do that. While Node.js may have a lot of built-in APIs and functionalities, such as the file system API (fs) or the http API, trust me, you will know when you will need to use those APIs when the time comes as you're developing your project. Don't worry about all of those native APIs Node.js provides, every single runtime environment or language will have their own that you don't need to memorize or know until you need to use them. As long as you know how to write some JS code, and execute it on your local machine through the command line, then you should have no problem learning Express.js, or any JS framework.

Thus, Express.js is one of the best frameworks to learn as a complete newbie because of its unopinionated nature.

Hands down the best(up-to-date) video on express on youtube. Exactly to the poiny, crisp and concise. You just earned a subcriber and also liked the video as well. Btw if you don't mind me asking then what is the font style and the theme that you are using?
