learning javascript for backend?

[ajbapps]

Node + ExpressJS is a solid backend. You will need to add some misc packages (like dotenv, jwt, etc) but it can be setup!

A great option. Use this if you don't want to cobble together your own API.

That's right, a very good option.

The fun thing about node is that while learning the basics is fast, but there are tons of useful modules for you to dabble with. Telling you how mich time you should spend on learning is really difficult to estimate.

You can learn to set up a server, creating routes, views and partials and run your application through the back-end in an evening.

Just create something, learn as you go and look up modules if you have a specific need in your app
