Modern Web APIs with Node.js & TypeScript

Modern Web APIs with Node.js & TypeScript

Full-Stack-Development! Modern frontends are using Single-Page Applications like Angular or React communicating with some light-weight Web APIs in the background. Thanks to Node.js we can speak one language in both worlds: JavaScript … or even TypeScript! Within this session we want to take a look at building modern and light-weight Web APIs based on Node.js with TypeScript and connect to a database using an ORM called SequelizeJS. A few lines of code are needed to create a “next generation” Web API.
