# JavaScript Development with Express.js

Canonical URL: <https://programwithus.com/classes/javascript-development-with-express-js>

## Overview

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. With a myriad of HTTP utility methods and middleware at your disposal, creating a robust API is quick and easy.

Learning Express.js is a must-have skillset when dealing with Node and back-end technology. You’ll learn how to manage the flow of data entering and leaving your application. Express.js subscribes to HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and translates this protocol into JavaScript functions!
