Writing a RESTful API for Node and Express is time consuming. You have to design and code each model, with security, parameters, REST endpoints, and even the HTTP status codes. LoopBack, however, takes the pain out of creating an API and can dramatically reduce your development time.
In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Jeremy McPeak will show you how to get started using LoopBack to speed up back-end development. You'll follow along as Jeremy creates a simple REST API for application data. Along the way, you'll see how to create relational connections between models, how to secure the API with access control, and how to define endpoints with custom application logic.

I started my development career on the client-side writing JavaScript and DHTML components in my spare time. In 2005, Nicholas C. Zakas asked me to join him in writing the first edition of Professional Ajax for Wiley Publishing. Since Professional Ajax, 1st Edition, I've been blessed to take part in other book projects: Professional Ajax 2nd Edition, and Beginning JavaScript 3rd and 4th editions.
