I've been learning web development for over a year, and I've never seen such amazing, organized, coherent courses like yours! Thanks Mosh!

[PrisantyaFridayana]

Thank you for your tutorial..
As a starter in Node, I found this really helpful
Well structured explanation and good flow for a starter
Now I could understand the basic of Node..

Knew most of this, but I still watched the entire tutorial because it was so incredibly well structured and didactic.
You are a born teacher. I've often fantasized about making great and clear youtube tutorials, in my wildest most perfect fantasies, they looked exactly like the stuff you actually make! Incredible!

I was struggling learning how to create a server with node and express. This tutorial is really easy to understand and well-structured for beginners. This is so far the best tutorial on Youtube!!! Thank you so much, Mosh!!!

Great tutorial. I had just finished the express course on codecademy and was still really confused. Watching this gave me a much better understanding and explanation of the why and how of building endpoints with express on your actual computer. I'll definitely be checking out your courses and your other videos.

Very much dug and appreciated this tutorial. Where as a couple of others I 'learned' things, here I started to actually understand them. That's quite a bit more satisfying!

Man! this for far one of the best well explained Node+Express crash courses I've ever seen. You convinced me to buy the full series :)

Mosh, your teaching style is so clear. Thank you for the courses!

If you meet the validation error, you have to do some changes to be according with your Joi version.
const schema = Joi.object({
name: Joi.string()
.min(3)
.max(30)
.required()
});

const result = schema.validate(req.body);
console.log(result);
