Kabron Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Look at your clock, add thirty minutes. Did you know you were going to have a live website running before then?This is all possible with the power of Node.js an extremely powerful severside javascript platform, and the ease of use of Heroku, a scalable cloud application platform.First you will be installing the tools, this is taught in Windows, but is possibly even simpler on Linux and Mac and links to the install pages are all included. Then we will do a traditional 'hello, world,' example to make sure our tools are installed correctly.Next we turn our 'hello, world,' into a basic website with Express, finally setting up our Heroku account, Git, and deploying, all within the first 15 minutes.Next you will add Bootstrap, create a very basic task-list web service, and make calls to it via jQuery.For beginners It can be frustrating learning to code without seeing results, so it's important to get in and deploy early. Seeing your website live is such a confidence boost, after that you can start customizing and getting feedback, then adding more advanced features.For established coders and startup hackers this will just teach you an easy workflow to get started, in future courses you can learn how to customize your stack further, but this should get you up and running for your next weekend of hacking! https://www.udemy.com/nodejs-in-30/?couponCode=FREEREDDIT Quote
