This is a small web server using Express to serve file and EJS to template them.

The goal here is to provide a small sample of how to get started.

1. Install Node JS (Either LTS or current will be fine).
2. Copy the code base down either with git or by downloading the zip.
3. In a command line navigate to this directory.
4. Run npm install

1. Run npm start
2. open http://localhost:8080

The web server is running in the server.js file. This uses Express JS to handle web requests.

This handles the data and passes it through to the view layer described below.

Changes made to server.js will requre you to stop the command line process and start it again.

The web pages which are displayed. These take the data passed from the server and render them into html.

These are located in the views directory. They use EJS in order to render dynamic data into html.

When these are modified refresh the browser to view them.

These are the .css and .js files that are sent down to the client. They are kept in the public directory. Currently there is only a .css file in there used for basic styling of the outputted view.

This is mostly raw code. More information on learning Node JS, Express JS and EJS can be found in this tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJlrbbAG08uODIwuT3Ov0ytukd14AlBZx
