Tutorial 1 - What is Hono?

7 steps

In this tutorial, you will learn about Hono and compare some similarities and differences from other middleware frameworks such as Express and Oak.

During the tutorial, you will also prepare a project setup that you will use throughout the campaign. Therefore, this tutorial is a prerequisite for the subsequent quests.

The project setup will consist of a preparation of project structure, creating some example routes, and adding a Deno task. This will also allow us to experiment with some routes to be used throughout this campaign.
