Node.js tutorial for beginners 2014 - an introduction to Node.js with Express.js 

"I'm going to use --hogan, because i'm going to use hogan templating which is basically mustache..they support less and stylus, but not sass" "for beginners"

What the fuck is mustache and hogan

Man, this is some next level shit. As much as I wanted to learn Node now after watching this video I feel intimidated and discouraged. There are so many things you've said that didn't make any sense to me.

it's really good that you make tutorials like this.. you might want to rename it to "Node.js tutorial for experts" since you don't explain anything but just rush through a lot of names without telling what they do and why you want to use them.

At 5:50ish you talk about stopping and restarting the server but you don't say how you do it. I wore out that section of the video and I can't tell what you are doing.

***** 500 bits thanks for the quick tutorial!

Min 5:45 - DEBUG=app ./bin/www Makes my terminal no longer able to receive commands. Even when i've saved the files in ./bin/www to use "app" and the 9000 port, it still won't work...

mfw i find out it's "node mon" and not "no demon"

Would be cool for you to do a 2015 version using cloud9 :P

Error WinXP: DEBUG=my-application ./bin/www File not found. npm start - starts server on localhost:3000

express deprecated res.send(body, status): Use res.status(status).send(body) instead

Any One can help me ???? I don't know what is API , REST API, JSON, NODE JS ????? Theses are all related together ???? How they are working???????

hey, i cant seem to debug and get that "express server listening on port 3000". im doing pretty much the same thing what your doing but that when it comes to the debug part it keeps on saying it is not recognized and so i cant move on to the port 3000 part...im using a windows 8.1 / you mentioned to open the npm start on windows? how do you that.. lol (i'm really sorry if this comes lame to you guys but im a total newbie in all this codes and stuff) hoping for your response. THANK YOU . :)

npm WARN deprecated mkdirp@0.5.1: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x. (Note that the API surface has changed to use Promises in 1.x.)

I think im in love... #nodejs #express

can you answer this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/27085069/templating-in-nodejs-confused-about-several-things

Hello, thanks for the great video! I've tried uploading json object to the website and ran it, but the 'type' doesn't read as 'json' but just 'document.' And I can't figure out why... I'm trying to further use this server to practice .ajax() 'GET' function, but when I try it, it doesn't seem to work. The only reason I can think of is those 'type' issue where it doesn't recognize uploaded data as json.. Could you help me, please?

HI Will great tutorial, however I'm having some errors. I just installed nodemon and typed the console.log line to see it running, but when I tried to save (using VS Code) I get, Failed to save 'app.js': A system error occured (EACCES: permission denied. I also notice in the www file i am getting errors on require & process, e.g. can't find name 'require' any. Can you help? EDIT: after some research renaming www to www.js removed the errors as I think it's overwriting the preferences and making www a .ts file, however I'm still getting permission denied when trying to save?

I just noticed the amount of comments mentioning how this seems difficult and hard to understand. If you don't understand the concept of templating (hogan, jade, etc), then WHY are you trying to learn Node.js? Baby steps, people, baby steps. Again, great video.

Hey, I followed this guide and had no issues at all until 4:03 When I ran the ./bin/www command it says exp2015:server listening on port 3000 +0ms but when I went to the url in my browser it just says Unable to connect. Can anyone help me?

Hey there, I wonder what software (or internal setup) you are using on your Mac to remember the sizes and positions of opening windows. It's quite fancy that Mac opens each window at the position you desire when programming with multiple windows. I found some recommended software like Stay, Breeze, Slate, Forget-me-not, SizeUp, Optimal Layout but have no idea which one is good.

First of all, great post. I would recommend redefining where NPM stores global packages and to never globally install a package from NPM as sudo. The global packages should really be in your .local directory. If you build node from source, it is relatively simple to do. This is a good link if you want to read more: tnovelli.net/blog/blog.2011-08-27.node-npm-user-install.html Getting Yeoman to work when your not part of the super user group can be very challenging without first doing this.

I already have a simple website using html, css (index.html etc). Currently, I just upload into "public" folder to my host. How do I put this website into Node.js/Express so that it will on the web?

If using yo angular-fullstack, is hogan a default instead of jade for express because it's already in angular? When it asks how I would like to write markup it asks for either HTML or jade (I'm assuming this is geared toward express).

11:11 My JSON object is showed as a "document", not as an application/json

Cool. Thanks. This tool will be helpful for beginners (not only): www.npmjs.com/package/react-ui-builder

Hi, i was wondering how you made your terminal look like that?

Are there some videos I have to watch before the Node.js tutorial? I have finished the Web Development Fundamental playlist and then when I proceed with the Node.Js playlist I just feel super confused.

Bloke, you are too good in the explanation. Superb way !!! Can you please explain us chat application in Node.js using API?

Having done some Spring MVC at work, listening to your tutorial feels like a fresh gust.

***** When i made my own IP Address i try doing some extra work or adding some HTML codes but the page wont refresh or nothing. I dont know if its my computer or what. I Got a Windows XP Computer.

New to nodeJs and sort of to Js itself. Came from the php-side. Very useful overview. And it remind me somewhat of the setup of a Laravel framework, what with the neat app.js...

What is that monitor window in the bottom half of your chrome browser? Part of Node.js' settings, part of chrome's activity monitor, or your mac's activity monitor?

Hey LearnCode.academy Can you do tutorial on snoocore (reddit wrapper for nodejs) i can't get pass oauth part, and nor i can understand the documentation. After jquery this would be 2nd docs i'm attempting to understand. So i am pretty lost. Oauth is eating me.

I notice you have a few shortcut commands in your terminal. Are you using dot files? If so, would love a video on dot files. Something I've always wanted to know more about. Love the channel, by the way!

Just a quick note that DEBUG=app:* ./bin/www did not work. So I just used node ./bin/www instead.

One more question, when you `console.log(res.query)` the output shows nicely in your terminal as a JSON. In my terminal I simply get the string `GET /?test=3&else=4 200 3.239 ms - 205`. Are you using some specific settings? It's a bit hard to follow a tutorial with customised output and Chrome extensions.

Your `bin/www` has just 10 lines. Mine has 91. OK, one year has past since you made the video, but how come so many lines have added to the file? For example, there are `Module dependencies`, `Get port from environment...`, `Create HTTP server`, and many more sections. Any idea?

How do you get your project folders to come up in your sublime text app? Is the process for setting that up similar in Atom? Can anyone answer this?

Linux users will have to create a symlink node ->nodejs before you can use command express.

My nodejs screen comes up with a > sort of cursor. When I type node -v or npm -v it doesn't recognize it. It says ReferenceError node is not defined. What am I missing?

With the release of Express 4.0.0 it looks like you need to do sudo npm install -g express-generator

thanks for the video.

actually there's no bin folder under created app folder.....:S

woah.. eyes glossed over with head spinning. an introduction? really?

How did you customize your terminal to have this appearence though?

Great tutorial. Why don't you use sass instead off less? Less is rarely updated. I can't get sass to work

Awesome tutorial, thanks for sharing!

Hey great tutorial! What sublime autocomplete are you using for node?

Where's the tutorial for Windows?

Great video. I've not used Node.js before but definitely going to try it out.

how do you configure the cmd so that you can type shortcut to launch specific app ?

I like how you fly through but clear to understand and explain simple things, I like learning on the go, I sometimes put tutorial videos on fast-forward, Thanks

Another thing that doesn't look like the way you've shown is the rendering of the JSON, when you return it in with `res.send()`. I've tested the syntax, and it looks correct, but it displays like text and under `type` I get `Document` and not `application/JSON`.

In other tutorials I've watched, they typed node to run. You used DEBUG=. What is the difference?

Great tutorial! Question: I hear people comparing Node.js/Espress.js as a similar to RoR, is there a massive difference? or is it a matter of preference?

@youtube why can't I :thumbs-down: ads? #UX

Wow! I knew node was cool, I just didn't know it was this cool!

Thanks, lots of information. Great video.

I thiink sass can be used now a days (node-sass-middleware) by using -c sass.

Kindly share your link of node with mongo DB

Wait... If it keeps everything loaded in memory, won't you run out of RAM if you have to load a few billion videos and images?

Hi, Thank you for amazing videos. I have also been following your React videos and they are awesome. I have a strange requirement with node. I need to read data from a third party REST api and store it in my postgres database. But I want the node app to keep watching the api endpoint for new/updated data (there is no trigger point like reloading a page or clicking a button) based on a query date parameter (/api/users?since_updated = 2016-01-26%2009:01:44). For example when I pull the data today, my app should save today's date in database and the next time it should ask for data from the saved date. Is node suitable for this? Or should I consider other options? Everything is doable reading from API, storing in databse but I don't know how to keep the node listening continuously (or every hour) to the api endpoint with the latest since_updated parameter. Do you have any resource that can help me with this?

Sorry about the dumb questions: i'm new to node and javascrpit as well, but im trying to build a bot using an API using JSON. I have two quesitons: How can i deploy it to the web and make it running and firing a method every 15minutes? Great Video!

I tried DEBUG=my-application ./bin/www and DEBUG=app ./bin/www and it kept saying DEBUG is not recognized but when I try npm start app ./bin/www it gives me a bunch of errors

when I tried "express exp2014" there's no "scripts":{"start"...." do you know why???

How can I add a library after installing, I need to install the Websocket package {"ws":"0.4.30"}. How do I do that?

Where's your repository so we can download the code?

what re the prams ? we need definition for things like that

Do you know if there is a definitive answer as to how AngularJS and Hogan can play nicely together? I know you can change the delimiter in either. I would prefer to change Hogan's delimiter, but I have not found an exact description of how this can be done and what repercussions it might have.

Trying to run on windows 7 It says 'DEBUG' is not recognised also tried with prefix 'set', still no luck

Beginner tutorial at 100mph. DEBUG command was not recognized (3:50)

This a terrible tutorial "for beginners".

When I run DEBUG=myapp ,/bin/www it returns nothing. I am on Linux Ubuntu any help is appreciated.

I run everything perfectly in windows and i had the error of the debug but i fixed it and its telling me that its listening to port 3000 and everything seems to work just fine, though when i write in chrome localhost:3000 its telling me that the internet page is not available and that it timed out. Why?!!

You got a lot of cool things going on in your sublime text. How did you get the subl command to open the folder in sublime? And what other cool packages do you got in your sublime text? Thanks

Can't find the support box!!!

Pretty Cool.Thanks :)

Hello, when i run my application it says DEGBUG is not recognized i am running windows

Such a good tutorial... thankyou so much. You really made me understand what express is... also your absolute beginner for NodeJS tutorial has been so helpful. Thankyou.

Hi, thanks for the very good video. Just a quick question, can you use express for a go lang app?

This video is 7 years old, but it still helped me start to understand a project I was just handed to work on. Thanks so much for explaining the folder structure and how the various routes worked. Specifically the example of "/users" and "/users/users" instantly made everything click.

Your'e using Sublime Text? But yours is much better looking than mine haha

Didn't know about nodemon, thanks a lot

Can the video quality be improved?? It's hard reading the text on screen.

could you possibly tell me the diffrence of ruby on rails and node. i know that node is non blocking and there for faster, but i guess the real question is, is there any point in using ruby on rails.

Good one... helped a lot

Took a bit to get into this Channel but overall it's fantastic.Glad I subscribed

What SublimeText package do you use in order to insert a semi-colon at the end of the line with only one keystroke?

I am on windows and cannot run www through debug command. I trieed cd into bin and www by typing "www" but it does not work either. What am I supposed to do ?

Thank you Will. This was awesome.Great explanation of using router. 1 note: req.query -> changed to req.params. Just for starters to know

Thank you for excellent tutorial. I have one problem for page refresh (browser show page not found) when I use angular route. Can you help me please.

Great introduction. But how does your terminal input start on a separate line? I couldn't find how to do this in linux : (

sorry for this dumb question. at 3:58 it says 'DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file please help. this is the best node.js tutorial as compared to others. please help me out in that one alone

Hey what sublime theme are you using? Nice tutorial btw. Thanks!

Great up-to-date guide for node beginners! I've been developing software for about six years now and I tried node once and never looked back, haha. Thank you for the help, greatly appreciate it.

just finished you're playlist on React and Redux, so my question is : does Node Router exclude Redux Router? and how do i use it with React?

Great tutorial! Helped me get going with NodeJS. But, I've a question about Sublime Text. I've installed predawn theme/package but for some reason I can't have multiple tabs open. Any will be much appreciated. I'll have more NodeJS questions later on.
