DevTips Daily Update 21/01/22

#javascript #beginners #tutorial

So this week's DevTips daily tutorials have been a bit truncated - I was ill at the start of the year with COVID so i'm just catching up with things and starting to feel better!

I did publish a few videos however carrying on with our end to end project, looking at PM2 logs, securing the ports of our Digital Ocean droplet and creating specific Express routing files and finally doing a review of our progress on the project by looking at our User Stories!

Here's a link to each individual tutorial:

Viewing PM2 Logs

Securing a MongoDB database with Digital Ocean

Creating Express Routing Files

User Story Review

Next week we're going to be carrying on with the project again, starting to make progress on the front end side of things, giving the user something to generate the short URLs.

Thanks for watching 👍
