00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:00,960
Hello again.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,830
You're at the halfway mark for
the tech degree.

3
00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:07,367
It's time to jump into server
side JavaScript using NodeJS and

4
00:00:07,367 --> 00:00:09,173
the Express framework.

5
00:00:09,173 --> 00:00:13,411
NodeJS and Express are two
powerful server side tools.

6
00:00:13,411 --> 00:00:17,603
They're used every day to make fast,
modular, and dynamic web applications.

7
00:00:17,603 --> 00:00:21,030
For this project,
you'll use NodeJS, Express, and

8
00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:25,218
Templates to create a portfolio
site to highlight your projects.

9
00:00:25,218 --> 00:00:28,372
Let me show you an example of
what you will be creating.

10
00:00:28,372 --> 00:00:31,501
This may look like
a regular set of web pages.

11
00:00:31,501 --> 00:00:36,491
But this project is super charged with
NodeJS and the Express framework.

12
00:00:36,491 --> 00:00:40,082
You won't be creating
static HTML files here, no.

13
00:00:40,082 --> 00:00:44,607
You'll build a dynamic website and
spin up your own web server to run it.

14
00:00:44,607 --> 00:00:47,711
You'll use templates to
simplify page creation, and

15
00:00:47,711 --> 00:00:51,498
you'll use routes to guide users
as they click navigation links.

16
00:00:51,498 --> 00:00:57,284
You'll use JSON files to define
the data being displayed in the page.

17
00:00:57,284 --> 00:01:01,062
This is a big step toward creating
a full blown web application, so

18
00:01:01,062 --> 00:01:02,080
have fun with it.
