Build me a simple Node and Express backend project that acts like a clean learning playground.

I want it to have a few small examples showing basic JavaScript, Node, and Express usage, with code that is easy to read and run. Include a tiny server with a couple of routes, some simple scripts for common backend tasks, and a clear structure so it’s obvious where each example lives. If it helps, add a short text file with notes or quick commands so someone new can understand how to run everything.

Keep it lightweight and practical, more like a useful starter repo than a full product. If you need to check current best practices or docs online, go ahead and do that.
