  Build a REST API With Express

  REST services are a powerful way of providing functionality over the internet. Not only can they be used as a foundation to build sophisticated web applications, they can also be integrated into any number of other projects, making them the ultimate in modularity and reusability! Instead of having to rebuild an application for several platforms, for example -- iOS, Android, browser, etc -- you can build the back-end once and just add user interfaces as needed. You can build a REST service in many different languages/platforms, but for this course, we will be building one with Express, a popular framework written for Node.js. We will also use Mongoose with MongoDB to persist our data. Let’s get started!
