In this video, I introduce myself as your instructor, Solomon Ojibo, and provide a brief overview of the backend development course on Tetra. I explain that the course is divided into multiple sessions with videos, hands-on practice exercises, quizzes, assignments, and a final capstone project. I emphasize the importance of completing all hands-on exercises for better learning and improving coding skills. I also mention that having a basic understanding of JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Git will be beneficial for the course.
Lesson 1 - NodeJS
In this video, I will guide you through the process of setting up your development environment for a Node.js application. We will download and install the Node.js application, choose the appropriate version, and install the necessary tools. I will also introduce some useful extensions for Visual Studio Code that will enhance your development experience. By the end of this video, you will have a fully functional development environment ready to start building your Node.js application.
In this video, I will be discussing Node.js modules. I will explain what Node.js modules are and how they can be used in your Node.js projects. We will explore different types of modules, such as core Node.js modules, local modules, and third-party modules. I will also demonstrate how to organize third-party Node.js modules. Additionally, we will take a closer look at some popular Node.js modules, including the DNS module, events module, FS module, HTTP module, OS module, PATH module, and CLS module. Finally, we will focus on the file system module and learn how to interact with the file system using Node.js.
In the last video, I demonstrated how to use the file system module in Node.js to create, update, and read files. I start by showing how to create a file and add or update its content. Then, I explain how to read a file using the fs module. In this video I will provide step-by-step instructions how to use the file system module and include code examples. By the end of the video, you will have a clear understanding of how to work with files in Node.js.
In this lesson, we will look at the concept of dynamic routing in an Express HTTP server Dynamic routing involves handling different HTTP requests based on the URL path dynamically. Instead of defining fixed routes for specific resources, dynamic routing allows for flexibility in responding to various URL patterns. Dynamic routes often involve parameters in the URL. For example, a route like `/users/:id` allows the server to capture the value of `id` from the URL dynamically.
