    • Set up routes for requesting different information and templates (i.e. views) to render the data as HTML to be displayed in the browser
    • Build controllers for updating models and/or views in response to input from users of my app
  • Perform Create-Read-Update-Delete (CRUD) operations in my app
  • Build views and work with forms in Express using the EJS templating engine
  • Deploy my application to production
