Abstract
To get started on the web side of connecting Arduino to the Web, it is useful to have a basic understanding of web technologies. This chapter will go through some of the principles, including what a web server is, how a URL is constructed, what routes are, and what Node.js is. It will then get practical, and you will learn how to create a web server with Node.js and send data back and forth from the server to a web page. It will cover Node.js, ejs, and socket.io.
