Line by Line: Stepping into server-side JavaScript from the frontend with a practical project

Here is an example document to move into server side while building something other than "start a server". Moving into server side some students/people have to be scaled up/down so that they can move at a pace comfortable to them rather than completely stopping due to brain freeze.

The registration/login functionality is common to most class projects so this document serves as the source of truth that can be referred to while porting over the functionality into their own projects.

This document is being edited unto infinity
