I'm a full-stack developer working with JavaScript and its associated runtimes for the past 7 years. I love to play with code and make something useful out of it! You can find me on social media, I'm quite active there :)

URL shortener services are very popular. In this classroom we will be covering every step needed in order to build a url shortener from scratch. We will do this using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.

By the end of this classroom, you will have the knowledge about:

* Mongoose and using it to interact with MongoDB
* Express and creating routes with it
* Embedded JS templates and using variables in them
* Building a finished small project
* And more!

Let’s start!
