Use Node.js to build a time server and a web server

In this video, we’re continuing through the Learn You Node workshop. We’ll build a TCP time server which answers each TCP request with the current time and a web server that responds to HTTP requests with a file.

Video Notes

❗ If you haven’t done the other videos of this series, you might be lost. Start with the first video in the series.

📺 Part 1

📝 If you need to install Learn You Node, you can get directions on their repo.

📅🕐 In the process of doing this, we’ll also learn to use NPM to install and manage a dependency. We’ll be incorporating date-fns, a date utility library for client-side Javascript and Node.

👋 Thank you for watching and for working through the exercises with me! Look out for the final video in which we’ll work through the remaining Learn You Node exercises together.
