How to setup a REST API with TypeScript, Express, and Deno, pt. 1

(Tim was sporting a cold while recording some of the live portions, thanks for bearing with us.)

This is the first video in our short series of how to get a REST API up and running quickly with TypeScript & Express using Deno. In part one, we set up our local dev environment, implement a logging function using middleware, and get simple and dynamic routes established with a mock data store.

Note in the video, the import statement did not include the version. We recommend including the version when importing, like this:

```
import express, { NextFunction, Request, Response } from "npm:[email protected]";
```
