Developing an API with Node.js using Couchbase NoSQL and N1QL

Have you ever wanted to create a RESTful API with Node.js, but wasn’t sure where to start?  How do you design your endpoints or interact with the data layer?  How do you store your data?

In this, start to finish, video tutorial you’ll see how to start a new Node.js application, develop four RESTful API endpoints for performing CRUD operations, and use SQL-like N1QL queries to interact with your NoSQL Couchbase data.

By the end of this video you should be comfortable with using Couchbase NoSQL with N1QL as your database for a RESTful Node.js API.  While this video is a complete start to finish solution, it is part one of two in this series.  The next video will accomplish the same, but using an ODM similar to MongoDB’s Mongoose instead of N1QL.
