    If you're not horribly opposed to spending a few bucks, I'd recommend a udemy tutorial myself - the Complete Node Course with Andrew Mead. He doesn't really touch on HTML/CSS but it seems like those are your strong suits already, and he goes through everything top to bottom as far as getting a…

    The Andrew mead course is dope ngl but once you get familiar with node and what it actually is take this course it’s great for understanding express / http https://www.udemy.com/course/just-express-with-a-bunch-of-node-and-http-in-detail/

    You've been given the basic. I got started by a buddy telling me, "Learn HTML and CSS first". From there it's a journey. Here's a roadmap: https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap I suggest looking into the Odin Project, it teaches the MERN (Mongodb, Express, React, Node) stack. Then…

Hardly any test questions are every answered and no one seems to know how to test in ANY language. Tutorials are seriously lacking as well. How do you learn testing on your own if there are no actual tutorials or stackoverflow answers?”▲ 13

    Postman is great for developing. Also check out jest and enzyme. Take a course by Andrew Mead on Udemy for $10. He does a good job covering jest and postman and mocking out functions (eg. things that rely on ids generated in a database) in his Node.js course. He covers testing front end components…

    I duno about MEAN but I'm halfway through Andrew Mead's Udemy js bootcamp course (also has node) and it is excellent.

    Currently making this transition. Sounds like you’d mostly be doing backend. Andrew Mead has a good course on Udemy for JavaScript that uses Node for most of the course. Would recommend checking that out as it helped me a lot. Although I’ve been in IT Ops for around 10 years, I’ve always found…

    The roadmap may seem overwhelming, but that's because the state of web development in 2018 is just that, overwhelming. Anyway I recommend signing up to a Udemy course such as Andrew mead's node course to learn how the backend and front end work with each other. Then pick a JS framework (react …

    Andrew Mead's courses on Udemy are the best I've found so far.

    I've been learning back-end technologies for a few months now, specifically Node, Express, and MongoDB. ​ Node uses Chrome's V8 engine to allow JavaScript to be used on the backend. There are some difference between using JS in the browser, where we have access to things like "window", and…

    I think they're different enough that it doesn't really matter which one you start with. I did Node, then React, but I think I could have done just fine going the other way around. React is all front end and Node is all back end, and the two courses don't really overlap all that much. The React…
