Now that we've got our feet wet building an Express application for Node.js, let's work on an application that performs a useful function. The application we'll build will keep a list of notes, and it will let us explore some aspects of a real application.
In this chapter, we'll only build the basic infrastructure of the application, and in the later chapters, we'll extend the application considerably.
The topics covered in this chapter includes
- Using Promises and async functions in Express router functions
- Applying the MVC paradigm to Express applications
- Building an Express application
- JavaScript Class definitions
- Implementing the CRUD paradigm
- Handlebars templates
