Node.js Fundamentals Journey

This repository documents my journey through the fundamentals of Node.js, with practical examples and hands-on projects. Each directory inside aulas represents a lesson, showcasing a specific concept or feature of the Node.js ecosystem.

🚀 What's Inside?

This project is a collection of simple Node.js applications, each demonstrating a core concept. Here's a breakdown of what you'll find in each lesson:

• 01-fundamentos-node-js: The very basics. Learn how to create a simple HTTP server from scratch using the http module.
• 02-fundamentos-node-js: Building a basic API. This lesson introduces request and response handling, routing, and the use of JSON.
• 03-fundamentos-node-js: Diving into Streams. Explore the power of streams for handling data efficiently. This lesson covers Readable, Writable, and Transform streams, as well as the concept of Buffers.
• 04-fundamentos-node-js: Data persistence. Learn how to work with a file-based database to store and retrieve data.
• 05-fundamentos-node-js: Building a complete RESTful API. This lesson brings everything together, with a focus on creating a well-structured API with routes, middlewares, and a database module. It also covers advanced routing with URL params and query strings.
