In the last part of this tutorial series, we created two routes to fetch and add books to our bare minimum application. We had already connected MongoDB database in Part 4 by defining a schema and creating a model to connect with the routes. In this part, we are going to work with HTML forms.

In Part 1, Getting Started With Expressjs, we did learn a lot about how Expressjs works as a Node.js framework. We built a simple and generic web server in the previous article that had two routes to function. We then discussed other paradigms such as devDependencies, REST services and the general anatomy of an Express… Continue reading →

In the previous article, we learned how we can leverage ODM like Mongoose to connect a database to our Express server web application and define schema and model inside our web application to interact with the MongoDB database. In this tutorial, we are going to work on the controller part of our web server. We… Continue reading →

With an Expressjs application, you can make use of all popular databases available to perform several operations such as Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD operations). This tutorial will provide you an overview of a database, we are going to use with our Expressjs application, called MongoDB. Further, we will be looking into pragmatic concepts… Continue reading →

In previous articles, we discussed node js network programming also we discussed how to build a basic web server using Node.js alone. By Node.js alone, I mean using its core API modules such as URL and HTTP. In the second article, we glimpsed briefly on how Node.js works behind the scenes. There is a lot… Continue reading →

Introduction to Node.js Event Loop In the previous article, we talked about Node js network programming. Here we will take it further and talk about Event loop and asynchronous non blocking in node js. Node.js is single threaded. It supports concurrency through paradigms of event and callbacks. Since it is single threaded, most APIs provided… Continue reading →

Web applications are often written in a server/client model where server is responsible to respond with resources for the client to handle. Node.js is an open source platform that allows you to build fast and scalable server applications using JavaScript. Node.js is a runtime that uses the same V8 Javascript engine you can find in… Continue reading →
