Course description
In this course, we are going to build out more functionality of an application, focusing on how to leverage Express for Node.js to our advantage. We will start by taking a look at our server side coding, and eventually move on to our App.js customization and model setup. Once our server is configured, we will build out our remaining views and take the application live. We are going to take a look at how we can incorporate Bootstrap into our application to give it a more professional look and feel. Next we’ll go through the basics of installing Bootstrap, how to include it into the project, and also how we can integrate and configure it within the application.
