JavaScript Express Basics (2015) Using Templates with Express What is Template Rendering?

Quiz questions covering topics covered in the NEXT video.

Two or three times there have been questions on the end of video quizzes that cover topics addressed in the video after the quiz. Not sure if it's on purpose to make people do their own research or an accident; just thought I'd bring it up.

What's an example? I'm curious.

The most recent one was at the end of the video immediately before the start of "Using Templates with Express" and asked the proper method for sending HTML (app.render() vs app.send()) it was easy to find the answer, it just wasn't covered in the previous video.

Ah, you're ahead of me, I just finished the Frontend Track and literally just yesterday took the plunge and clicked to start the full stack JavaScript button. Yikes! How is it other than the quiz questions that assume knowledge from future videos? :-)

No problem, CLI is command line interface -using a cmd line interface (such as bash or powershell) to navigate and run programs and files on your computer. It's not necessarily "hard", it just takes some getting used to navigating and learning the syntax. Like all things a bit of research and effort goes a long way and you can easily figure out how to do anything you need to.

it's not too bad, I did my front-end stuff at FreeCodeCamp and it was great but they're using cloud9 to try to teach node and it's super buggy; this is very straight-foreword, getting used to CLI if you haven't used it a lot is a bit of a learning curve though.

What's CLI and what makes it hard in a nutshell? I know I could google it but it'd be cool to get your take.
