Though VSCode includes TypeScript language support which helps us pick up TypeScript errors in our TypeScript code, we'll introduce more robust code checking with ESLint - a popular open-source JavaScript/TypeScript linting tool.

TypeScript is a development tool geared towards making building JavaScript applications more robust. In an application's deployed state (browser or server), TypeScript must be compiled to valid JavaScript. In this lesson, we'll see how the TypeScript compiler provides us with a command to compile and produce JavaScript code from TypeScript.

Nodemon is an open-source utility tool that helps automatically restart a Node server whenever a change in code is detected in development. In this lesson, we'll install Nodemon and introduce an application script that will start the Node server with Nodemon.

Web servers provide functionality for requests that can be made from client applications. Node has a built-in HTTP module to allow for building a server that facilitates the transfer of data in HTTP. With this lesson, we'll look to use the popular Express framework as the replacement of the core HTTP module to create a minimal Node server, with Express routing.

Node is a JavaScript runtime environment that was first introduced in 2009 by Ryan Dahl, as a response to how slow web servers were at the time. In this lesson, we'll introduce Node and talk about the capability Node provides to make I/O tasks asynchronous and non-blocking.
