Building Web API's with Node.JS and MongoDB

Imagine a system where the user interface, server backend, and persistence layer shared a common language. Goodbye to programming language context switching! Seems impossible but, it’s not. You can now build a fully functional and high performant web api (or web app) with NodeJS, ExpressJS and MongoDB; all of which share one common programming language, JavaScript. ExpressJS is a web framework for NodeJS that provides a simple and easy to use framework to build web APIs (or web applications). MongooseJS is a MongoDB object modeling tool that provides you the tools to create domain models that match that of your documents in MongoDB. Using these three tools you can now develop in an environment that shares one common programming language: JavaScript. In this session you will be shown how to build a small web api (or web app) using NodeJS ExpressJS and MongooseJS.
