How to Node.js - Part 1
summary
Hands-on workshop follows the Linux Foundation course to set up Node properly using nvm/NVS for version switching and avoids installers, builds a static UI served with the npm tool g-serve, then adds a mock API: a plain Node http server (watch CORS and charset), converts CommonJS to ESM, and replaces it with Fastify + fluent.json.schema validation to implement GET and POST routes. Demos run on Node 18 (notes IPv6/localhost and Slowloris protection) and show curl tests, live edits, and that the mock server works.
