Here we discuss Node in general, the frameworks available to the app developer and the different approaches that can be followed in the design and development of a Node web app.

Here we investigate some of the more advanced features used in the design of Node web apps and focus on a particular Framework - Express.

In this lab we're going to build a very simple Node Web App using the WebStorm IDE. If you haven't done so already, get it set up by following the WebStorm IDE Setup. This web app won't have much functionality but it will take you through the process of building a Node Web app using WebStorm.

In this lab we will be using our WebStorm IDE to build a simple Node/Express Server to initially act as a Web Service APi for a related Android Mobile App, and eventually it will be our back-end to a full MEAN Stack Web App.
