I am trying to learn Node.js and I've been using Lynda.com, the book Node.js in Action, and I've scoured the web trying to look for online tutorials for current versions of Express (Express ~4.2) with Node.js.
Almost everything I've seen has Express 3.4 and this has a lot of deprecated code. These have become more of a hindrance than a help.
Does anyone know any good videos or step-by-step tutorials with updated versions of Express? Thank you.
EDIT: The answer given below from Waldo was perfect, and anyone having the same issues I had should use the links given by Waldo.
I have found additional information for those wanting more help learning Express 4.0 or navigating from Express 3.0 to 4.0.
A GitHub guide to code changed from 3.0 to 4.0
Create server-side MVC apps with Node.js and Express
Creating RESTful APIs with Express 4 (Thank you Romo!)
Lynda.Com has one updated tutorial, but they also have at least two more with deprecated code.
NodeJS is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model using JavaScript as its main language. It helps to build scalable network applications. Express is a minimal and flexible Node. js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.
Before diving into Express. js, you will want to learn how to write a basic HTTP server in plain Node. js. Since Express is just an extension on top of the native built-in HTTP server, knowing how to handle a request/response cycle will make jumping into basic Express applications very simple.
Two common full-stack JavaScript stacks are: MEAN stack - MongoDB (database), Express (server), Angular (front-end framework), and Node (runtime environment)

Hope that helps
