NestJS Workshop

Workshop on understanding NestJS framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications with Micro-Service Architecture. Nest fully supports TypeScript (yet still enables developers to code in pure JavaScript) and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).

Info: You can refer NestJS doc to learn more about the framework.
