Express.js Framework

Complete Course of Express.js Framework

Express.js is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework used to build server-side applications and APIs. It simplifies backend development by providing powerful features for handling HTTP requests, routing, middleware, and templating, making it a core component of the popular MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) and MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node) stacks. Learning Express.js is essential for aspiring web developers because it enables them to create efficient, scalable backend systems and RESTful APIs, skills that are in high demand for modern web development.
A tutor can accelerate this process by providing a structured learning path, hands-on projects, and real-world examples to help learners grasp key concepts, such as middleware, routing, and integration with databases, ensuring they are job-ready as backend developers.
