I am very new to Javascript and NodeJS. I am reading the book JUMP START NODE.JS and the version of express being used in this book is very old and no longer being supported to my knowledge. The version of express used in the book is express@2.5.8 and the Express web site is ver 4 and 5. From the main web site, they mention a lot of the supported modules in the old version v3 and before are not included in 4.
At this point of time, I am stuck and cannot continue in my learning and not sure what to do or what to install to be able to follow the examples in the book. Any suggestions or help is more than welcomed.
So much has happened in Node land since that book was released, I would recommend following something more up-to-date.
Saying that, you might well be in luck, as SitePoint is currently ramping up for a Node hub. This will see them publishing a ton of great Node content, including a guide to building a simple web app with Node, Express and MongoDB (by yours truly).
So, if you can wait until the Node hub kicks off (will be in the next couple of weeks, hopefully) then you should find plenty of up-to-date material to further your learning.
