Build It Live: Your First Node.js REST API

​What Even Is An API? 🤔

​Think of it like a waiter at a restaurant. Your frontend (the customer) asks for something, the API takes that request to the kitchen (your backend/database) and brings back exactly what was ordered. No magic — just organized communication.

​This session, you're building one. 🚀

​Who's This For? 👨‍💻

​Aspiring developers and beginners who've been putting off learning backend. If you're ready to build something real, bring your curiosity and leave with your first API.

​What's Happening 💻

​We're building a REST API using Node.js + Express.
Real endpoints. Real JSON responses. Real debugging when things break ( and they will ). ⚡

​The Real Deal 🔥

​No slides. Just live coding, problem-solving, and the satisfaction of hitting an endpoint and getting data back.

​Quick Note ⚙️

​Install Node.js and Postman before the session for a smoother experience.
If not, no worries — a quick glimpse will still be shown.

​See you in the session! 🎉
