NodeJS was supposed to bring in this new era of web development – productivity, scalability, easy to write code and more! But now, suddenly, you find yourself looking at a tangled, nested callback mess. What happened? How did this brave new world suddenly turn in to the nightmarish depths of Java and C#?
It’s enough to make anyone crawl under their desk and hide!
Node and Express are a powerful combination for serving web sites, but they aren’t fool-proof. They allow you to write bad code in an unorganized and deeply nested manner if you want to. The trick, then, is to keep your code as clean as possible – and I’ll show you how with the ExpressJS ProTips email course!
The Email Course
I’ve spent the last 3 or 4 years working with Express as my primary web server, and I’ve seen both Express come a long way, and my own use of it. I’ve learned lessons the hard way – by making mistakes, seeing the trouble I’ve caused myself, and having to figure out how to fix it.
Along the way, I haven’t found a single great resource that really teaches all of the lessons that I learned, either. So I built that resource and you’re looking at it right now: the ExpressJS ProTips email course.
These are tried and true lessons that I am boiling down in to quick tips and brief descriptions. But you should know: I’m not always going to give you the answers right away. I want these emails to challenge you in to thinking about your code differently, to get you to explore ideas and opportunities for improving your code.
What Can I Expect To See?
You’ll get 7 emails – one a day – that cover some core topics that have proven useful in keeping ExpressJS code clean. These topics include:
- router methods
- middleware
- error handling in routes
- business logic
- that require(“../../../”) mess
- sub-routers
- and more!
There may be a few extra little things in here, as well. You’ll just have to stick around to see. :)
