Here I’ll take a step back from previous posts and cover the HTTP API of Node.js in a focused way.

In this post I’ll take you through what some people consider the harder to learn aspects of JavaScript testing, which is incorporating a JavaScript test framework and applying it against your site. More and more testers are going to be coming up against these technologies and it never hurts to get some understanding.

In prior posts I had you creating web apps/servers via very simple logic. Framework software provides infrastructure support that allows you to create all of that a lot more quickly. Here I’ll take a look at using Express with Node.js.

Here I’ll continue the Node.js learning process by starting to construct a very simple server that will serve up static resources, like HTML pages.

My goal here is to introduce others to Node.js by basically detailing how I have learned it. In this initial post, I’ll jump right into creating a simple app-as-a-server and use that as a springboard for learning other aspects of Node.js.
