gitdagray/node_js_resources
A companion repo for Dave Gray's 7-hour Node.js beginner YouTube course. There is essentially no code here — just a README with links to external chapter repos and reference documentation. It exists to give YouTube watchers a single bookmark.
The reference links are well-organized and cover the right bases for a beginner: OWASP security reading, JWT storage tradeoffs, CORS docs. Structuring each chapter as its own repo with starter/completed states is a decent pedagogical pattern that lets learners reset without wrecking their own work.
The repo itself contains nothing — no source files, no exercises, no tests. Last touched in 2023, so anything Node.js or Express has moved on since. Stars and forks almost certainly reflect the YouTube channel's audience rather than the quality of this repo specifically. If the YouTube video goes down or changes, this repo becomes a dead-end list of links.
