Bootcamp - 

NodeJS starter kit [ Github ] -> https://github.com/AkhilSharma90/nodejs-starter

NodeJS starter kit on Gitpod virtual environment -> 

https://gitpod.io#snapshot/964c6d65-bce5-4c05-a1a9-39712109c3b4 

(Note :- This is a gitpod - a virtual environment to run code. When you click on this link, the project will be copied to your gitpod account, so make sure you first create a gitpod account so you can access this later.)

Opening the project, you will see an error message, that’s because there is no server.js file right now. We will build it together.
