Node.js Crash Course Tutorial #4 - Requests & Responses 

The video is the perfect example of the educational expertise of the creator. Instead of starting with the 'best' way of coding the serving of webpages, the author codes a more primitive way that is from a learning perspective, much more intuitive. Hats off to this outstanding creator.

The first channel I came across that explained Node js in a structured fashion. Every little detail is explained sooooo well. Thank you.

This is what I love about Shaun's tutorials; he slowly takes you through the concept, explains what is going under the hood, and shows you how the code evolved and where it started. so you understand how to write the correct code block and why you are writing it that way.

I can safely say that so far this has been the best Node resource I've come across, specifically because it doesn't jump into Express from the get-go. My first encounter with Node was basically mindlessly copying requires and module.exports and having no idea why which made it impossible to remember everything. This now actually makes complete sense. Thanks for this 👏👏

I can't believe how good this course is, and free too! We live in a golden age of education. Thanks so much.

Honestly, I spent 5 months just by looking tutorials of many youtubers on Node JS course. But after 5 months of struggling, I cam here. Now I can assure that I am full satck JS Developer beacuse of you

Here is an interesting thought. I just went to Udemy looking for a complete Node js course and spent an hour reviewing a number of Complete, Perfect , Modent, Latest Node js courses. In the end, I wasted almost an hour of my time going throught courses that are outdated, not for intermediate developers and mostly, not on the latest version. Just wanted to let you guys know channels like these are not many.

Amazing tutorials Sean. I followed 3-4 months ago your JS tutorials, and it helped me a lot. Now, after watching some other tutorials here and there, decided 4 days ago to go back to your channel to look for these, and surprise surprise, a new tutorial just on the topic I need. Thank you so much! You are amazing! Cheers from Israel.

This is incredible for anyone to learn progressively. Thanks a lot for taking time to put this together.

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. Understanding how all of this stuff works is how I learn. You are awesome! I've learned more about Node with the first 4 videos then I did at an actual coding bootcamp.

At 24:53 it's better to use 'return;' instead of 'break;' in line number 24 so that we exit the function. Otherwise it could lead to error as we're then trying to read from a file './views/' which is not valid. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial my friend. Cheers!

I have done a node course that took me almost a month I mean yeah it helps when im coming here to look for more information but I cant believe how good Shaun is a great teacher. Like really this guys is the real deal and I know I can always count on Shaun. Stays away from the tech guru limelight but his work definitely speaks for itself. I freaking love you Shaun

I love your teaching style. You start from the basic building blocks before explaining the more streamlined methods, so we can get a feeling for the code as we go and end up with a better grasp of it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill as a teacher!

I am a tutor and this helped my student and I on her assignment regarding setting up a server and answered a lot of questions we had, thanks!

I love your hardwork Keep it up and keep educating people

Omg, This is so good! Exactly what I was looking for. You are very thorough with your explanation about req and res, unlike many others tutorials that brush through it quickly. I love that! Subscribed and Liked!

So far the best Node.js tutorial for beginners I have ever found! Will this tutorial cover all those topics you explained in your previous Node.js tutorial 4 years ago?

Your content is acutely aware of our short attention spans! It is appreciated. Havn't decided whether I prefer lots of small videos or larger ones broken up to specific lectures, but breaking it up one way or another is definitely a good thing! Update: Decided I prefer more shorter videos, it will allow me to quickly reference the material I need when I am using this stuff in my own projects.

Before seeing your solution using switch statements, I tried writing the logic using if statements, and it sorta worked, but it was confusing to read and really buggy because I had fs.readFile() and fs.stat().isFile() methods flying around everywhere. Your method was eye opening. I think sometimes, the more advanced you are, the more streamlined your code can become, because I'm looking at what you did (from the pov of a noob) and just feeling awe for your coding design patterns. Thanks for making this series, sensei, you've really helped me! Prior to your series, I was feeling very disgruntled about the prospect of figuring out how to do server stuff (I tried some courses on php that were too cookie cutter for me to learn anything substancial) and seeing the flexibility of the node.js coding environment really opened my eyes to everything that's possible. You're a hero, mate! Greetings and blessings from the US 🙏🏽🎊❤️🔥🏆☮️🙌🏽

Thanks for your time put on this, man. Amazing patience and dedication! Cheers!

Net Ninja youre amazing, only someone with a solid understanding could explain things so well!!!

Your videos are the best. The way you explain things nobody else does. Thank you very much.😊

Yay! I now understand Node! It's taken weeks to get my head around half-understood concepts which you have so clearly explained in just over two hours! Next!

One of the best contents I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!

I've been working as a frontend web dev for 3+ years now and started getting into backend, this is the first course that was easy to comprehend and that's coming from someone that already has coding experience, can't imagine a beginner looking at some of the other courses out there, how confused they might get

This lecture was an eye opener. Can't thank you enough man! You are awesome.

Thank you for this video (and all of them really, I'm binge watching them). Most people jump straight into express, as you mentioned, and it makes it hard to see what Node is capable of on its own.

Love how you explain concepts, such great content

Very well structured and simply to understand! Thank you so much for your work! Great tutorial 💛

Lol when the ads come on, I usually let them play ❤️ I'm a broke, unemployed bum rn lol, so this is the only way I know to support. And I've shared your channel with some coder friends of mine. You absolutely rock, and one day I hope I'm in the position to support your work substantially! The internet owes you a massive debt, my guy! 🔥🙌🏽

really admire the consistency and the homogenous format maintained across all the tutorials. very beginner friendly and easy to grasp

This is the best tutorial on node js I found on the internet ... Thanks a lot sir!

You are the best. I thought node js was something hard to grasp but you made it so easy to understand. Loved it.

Shaun is a legend. He really knows his stuff with all its underlying principles.

200% recommended this video tutorial. Really helps. No words to say

This is such a good playlist!! ive come back around, as I kept up but I didn't absorb it all first time, but now its really sinking in

Thank you for everything, too much value in all videos of this channel that's just WOW ... Good luck for the rest !!

So far the best Node.js tutorial for beginners I have ever found! thanks

I was actually surprised to know we could actually do all this from scratch. I tried learning a Python Framework called Django and felt that the logic behind it didn't flow naturally. Good thing I found your videos. thx

Learned PHP many years ago, Never used it much and pretty much gave up on backend, Now I'm speed running thorough this course and it's amazing. Dude I know words aren't enough. Let me get paid.. Holy shit you're amazing.

Shaun's way of teaching really really suits me, clear complete explanations unlike the other ones I've seen from LinkedIn Learning where their instructors are assuming that small details are not that important, not switching between code files while explaining what their doing. Shaun, I hope you will consider making a full-pledge real-world website using MERN stack, maybe an e-commerce site for beginner to mid-level devs, if you submit it in Udemy I'll definitely buy it? :) Thanks for you great work. Keep it coming!

Absolute gem!! Thanks heaps for all your effort.

Net Ninja: "I think your website will have more than two lines of code" Me: "That's a bold assumption" 😂

This is really useful, I can follow, I can practice, without wasting the time. Thank you so much and congrats!

I have checked few course (by well known people) so far on the same topic. But, your course is by far the best. You have got very good skills to communicate the concepts beside giving the code demonstrations. Really appreiciate and thank you very much for this wonderful work that is available free to all. Thumns up

Amazing video! Thanks for all the under the hood explanations

Hey, it's me the 11-year-old kid nerd learning node.js from home. Your reply made me very happy and the videos are absolutely miraculous. I watched 2 other of your series of PHP and PHP classes. You are a G.O.A.T. a.k.a. greatest of all time. Keep it up and plz. reply...

One of the best tutorials there - keep up with the good work!

The *"Alright then gang!"* never gets old

Very nicely structured tutorials. After looking through many, this one is the easiest to use.

I was watching a course here at youtube that was teaching nodejs, but dude, it was like, I was not learning nodejs I was learning frameworks yeah it's cool to learn frameworks it make our lives easier but we also need to understand what's happening under the hood and it's what you're teaching us! Thank you so much sir!

This is the best video I have ever seen on RU-vid.

Anybody can learn from your crash courses! Everything is so clear and very understandable. You speak in a clear way, your English is easy to understand and the way you cover the basics so we can learn better in the next steps, is just AWESOME! Thanks a lot for all theses videos and crash courses. Cheers from Brazil.

If I'd get to live with one person on this earth, just one person for my entire life, I would go on living with you! Thanks Man for adding so much value to our lives.

Love your videos man! I am doing a 30 day coding challenge and staying committed by posting daily and dude you have been teaching me what a instructor could not, your the instructor I wish I had before. Thanks again man! Will definitely support the channel

Thanks. Again for making this video!

God bless, thanks alot, I've being watching this playlist over 5hrs now, all great walls of node js are being broken down gradually

LIKE This tutorial helped me to understand how a Node server works and the order of operations that the node interpreter executes the js source code. Many Thanks for sharing, now things are alot clearer for me : )

I have to say this is the best node js tutorial you explain everything well thank you net ninja

best node js tutorial for beginner, thanks for sharing knowledge

Well done! Thanks!

Tip: the last break in the switch is not needed, since the default is the last line of the switch statement anyway. Break is used in the previous case tests to stop further evaluation of the remaining switch cases. Ps. Thanks for the new course, looking forward to finishing this , and becoming a node ninja!!

Hey man , thanks for new content. 👍🏻
