As a front-end developer with experience in HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, and its frameworks, I found Node.js and Express more convenient to me at this stage, in terms of learning and grasping the basics of it quickly. I decided to learn on my own how to build a RESTful API and start learning things to enhance my area of expertise.Īll the APIs on the Bonita platform are developed in JAVA which is a backend programming language, so I have chosen Node.js and Express to build my first API. And often when other developers were talking about the implementation of new features, and new APIs, I was unable to contribute. As the lone front-end developer in the team, I always depended on my teammates to build the APIs, the backend of the apps I was working on.

This team is a part of the R&D department, where most of the developers in the team are specialized in back-end, and some are full-stack developers.
