Introduction to Advanced Node and Express Concepts

We continue on the path of exploring ExpressJS functionality including working with middleware packages in our Express Application.

Authentication is the process or action of verifying the identity of a user or process. This application utilizes this key concept.

The most common and easiest way to use authentication middleware for Node.js is PassportJS. It is easy to learn, light-weight, and extremely flexible allowing for many strategies. We also explore template engines, specifically PugJS, and web sockets, Socket.io. Web sockets allow for real time communication between all your clients and your server. Working on these challenges involved writing code on Repl.it using freecodecamp starter project.
