Introduction To NodeJs

For week 9, we’ll be diving into Introduction to Nodes, where


we’ll explore what nodes are, their role in data structures, and
how they connect to form structures like linked lists, trees, and
graphs.

By the end of the week, you’ll understand how nodes hold and
manage data, connect to other nodes, and enable efficient
organization in systems like databases and networks.

Let’s look at the breakdown of key topics and tasks ahead!


How does this sound as an intro? We can now work on
learning objectives and tasks.

Weekly Applied Learning Assignment

Build a Simple API with Node.js

1. Instructions:
○ Set Up Your Environment: Install Node.js on your local machine and initialize a new project using npm.
○ Create a Web Server:
■ Using Node.js and Express.js, create a basic web server that listens on a specified port.
■ Your server should respond with a welcome message when a user accesses the root URL ("/").
○ Build an API:
■ Create a simple API with two endpoints:
● A GET request that returns a list of fictional users in JSON format.
● A POST request that allows you to add a new user to the list.
○ Handle Errors:
■ Implement error handling for invalid requests (e.g., when a required field is missing or the request format is incorrect).

Submission:

● Submit your code and summary via CodePen.
