- GUIDED PROJECT 1
- Node.js and Express.js RESTful API
- In this project, you will create a RESTful API using Node.js and Express.js that allows users to manage a collection of tasks. Users will be able to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on tasks, which will be stored in a MongoDB database. The project will involve setting up an Express server, defining routes and middleware, connecting to the database with Mongoose, and implementing error handling. By the end of this project, you will gain practical experience in building a functional RESTful API while reinforcing the core concepts learned throughout the Node.js and Express.js course.
