Simon Holmes

Simon Holmes started his journey as a web developer in the late 1990s. He built his first website for a project at university and soon saw what the industry had to offer when he promptly sold it! Following university, Simon worked his way through the ranks of design agency life, learning the skills of becoming a full-stack web developer. From server management and database design to building dynamic UIs from Photoshop files, it all fell under Simon's remit. Having witnessed first-hand the terrible JavaScript code so prevalent in the early 2000s, Simon is very much enjoying its resurgence as a powerful, structured language. Simon now works in SaaS, which is very heavy on the JavaScript.

Summary


In this chapter we have taken a whirlwind tour of the technology stack, and installed the required programs, which are as follows:

  • Node.js

  • npm

  • MongoDB

  • Express

  • Mongoose

You should have at least a basic understanding of the majority of the stack. We're not going to be discussing in depth the workings of Node, MongoDB, and Express, but I will make sure to briefly describe any new concepts as we go.

In this first chapter, we have also created the framework for the project that we are going to build in later chapters. This is a website built on Node.js, using the Express framework. We have tested and seen this working in a browser.

In the next chapter, we will take a look at how to create Mongoose connections to database, and the best way to add a connection to our new project.
