Description
In this course we are going to create from scratch a complete online chess game. Also we are going to setup a MySQL database to store the users info (username, email, score, played games etc.) and we are going to use also Redis. We are going to set up a basic express server, and for our view engine we are gonna use ejs. For our server we are going to use different routes to displaying the pages and different routes for the api. We are going to use a lot of socket events so by the end of this course you’ll have mastered SocketIO. I will provide all the styling in the resources folder in the first section because this isn’t going to be a CSS tutorial, because I want this tutorial to help you focus on your javascript skills.
