Try using the speed control at the bottom of the video pane to slow it down, pausing the video frequently, turning on the captions, or a combination of these.

This is an incredibly challenging section. I agree with the above. Go super slow. I find paying attention to where the files sit on this screen in VS Code really helpful for understanding what he's talking about. Pause often and take a 5 min break when you're feeling super overwhelmed. You got this!

Or express needs to have coursed updated. I agree with OP, and more this whole express section seems like a big part that was rushed. Stuff was just to be expected to be known. I take notes redo videos and still google searching so much stuff that was attempted to be explained. The whole I have another challenge for you at the end of the last video about something the course gave 0 knowledge of. It just starts off with a website code converter. Likes yes, obviously how did I not think of that. With all the videos talking about how there needs to be html converted into Pug. That is something that should of been explained during the pug section.
