@jeremy, you might need to watch the updated video on this for 2014.  There were some significant changes that express.js made.

Congrats, you are the first American who can make a good, quick and to the point tutorial

The notes clarifying what has changed since 2014 were very helpful.

Thanks a lot for the great video. I've been working with node.js for a while now but never dared to use express. Your methods are great! :D

[iffmainak]

very helpful .. it helped me understand this whole route thing so easily .. and also difference between render and send was terrific to know .. books and tutorials was not clear enough before .. thank you ..

[daoistChuckle]

probably one of the best node videos I have seen. It is a little out of date, but still very useful!

Hi Will, before your "express testexpress" @ 2:20 works, you need to install the express generator: npm install -g express-generator After this, it works fine. :) Perhaps worth an annotation. Thanks for your video anyways.

Thanks again, found it really easy to listen and learn.

Great introduction to node + express! Thanks a lot!

[AndreyLuizHeur]

Liked your video! It's really very informative and educational. Just one thing: the early node/express versions changed a lot the way that the router and other stuff works and are built. I'm a beginner and in some parts I felt a little confused with some stuff. Congrats.

[lolitsmatt]

[IsmaelGuillermoMarin]

Cool video, I've been looking to graduate from vanilla Javascript onto a good framework, this seems like it could be for me.

Great video. cheers!

Personally I have a problem with npm cannot update itself when install nodejs via homebrew.

When I install with pkg package I must use sudo to install node module package globally. I don't want to do that every time.

Finally I find nodejs also provide a binary files for mac. I simply download binary archived, extract it (in my case I rename directory to .node and move it to my home directory.), and add node's bin directory to SHELL path. That solve all my problems.

I did everything right up to 4:30 in the video where you say to run the app put in the the command node app.js and when I do nothing happens? Please Help

[realflavorfiles]

Hey, after I download Node.js & Express, I am trying to run express expresstest in my terminal but response is : command not found.



Can you give some tips?

[JerickDuguran]

Nodemon doesn't work, I dont understand why.
4 Jun 14:10:33 - [nodemon] v1.2.0
4 Jun 14:10:33 - [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
4 Jun 14:10:33 - [nodemon] watching: *.*
4 Jun 14:10:33 - [nodemon] starting `node app.js`
4 Jun 14:10:33 - [nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart

Any suggestion?
