CST336 - Module 4

What did I learn in the fourth week of CST336?

This week we went over something that transforms static websites into full server-based websites. Basically, we implemented everything we did thus far into node.js, which required us to change HTML files to .ejs and have a server-based file with .mjs. This was done through lab three, which detailed how to implement everything through app.get functions to load each page with specific aspects that were required to be preloaded, like API's. In the end, the homework assignment was about implementing a node package and integrating it all through the .mjs file and express, which also needed partials and a different markup language on top of HTML that allowed for loops through placeholders (<%=%>, <%-%>).

After all that was done, I took another knowledge check that went over how node.js was used and what defined it for this particular module.
