Figured I’d take a break from my daily JavaScript adventures (w\/ Codewars)<\/a> and learn a little Node with Express and MongoDB<\/a>. Although it says 30 minutes, after downloading, creating an account, and installing Postman<\/a>, learning what it is and how it works, then doing all the same with mLab (MongoDB)<\/a>, then figuring out why MongoDB wouldn’t connect<\/a> (was a v2 vs. v3 thing), it took me a tad longer than I’d hoped. But it was still an excellent run-through for the basics of a CRUD app.<\/p>\n

In my ‘time it took’ defense, as it took me a couple days, on and off, it was in between my reading through dozens of pages derived from my initial reading of MDN Object Prototypes<\/a> and MDN Prototypal Inheritance<\/a> (all of which is making more and more ‘foundational’ sense). Speaking of MDN, it was also fun reading through the MDN Closure<\/a> page recently… another page that took me ‘days’ (er, or maybe it was weeks, …or months…) to thoroughly read through, run tests on CodePen<\/a>, and comprehend.<\/p>\n

Anyways, if you’re into learning a little Node, give it a shot. I’ve still got to go through the remaining ‘RUD’ \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
