  Introduction. In our first task on our "Journey to transition into Tech through Frontend and Backend Web development program", we had the opportunity to set up our development environment by installing the necessary code editors such as VS Code, Ubuntu (a Linux package), and Node.js. I also had the opportunity to install Git and also create a GitHub repository account. Task : In this article, I will be taking you on a journey on how to set up a simple server that sends the message "Hello World!" using Node.js.

With a strong background in a Physical Science discipline (Physics), and with experience in handling, analyzing, and drawing insights from data, I looked at Data Analysis and Data Science as an entry point. I am privileged to be a self-taught Python Expert, Tableau, Power BI, Excel (I used this to analyze data for my MPhil thesis), and other programming languages.

I have used YouTube to learn HTML, CSS, C++, and JavaScript, and still in the process of learning. StackOverflow, W3Schools, and other platforms also come in handy. With the changing Tech market, learning a single tech stack might get y...
