This is a great post and I will be waiting for the next ones!

When I was just starting with express and react this was the most difficult part, because it is done differently in all tutorials and projects or even not done at all, or is there without any explanation. Often it is explained how to do small separate things but not how to really put them together for something bigger. I found it very frustrating. As one goes these practices are usually picked up but it is nice to have a map.

Yeah I totally agree that the "big picture" is often missing, especially when it comes to Node tutorials. When I was first learning Node I too got really confused by it, and it wasn't until I started working on real-world projects that things started to click.

Hopefully I can pass on what I've learned
