+Do not use the execution described here in any production environment!
+It will make the running application highly vulnerable. \
+To compile the Angular code and afterwards start the Express server with `nodemon` for development purpose run
+
+   npm run dev
+
+Any changes on `api` code will trigger an automatic restart of the Express server.
+
+Changes on `static` code can be submitted with
+
+    npm run deploy-static
+
+The page must be reloaded after this build step is finished, in order to make changes visible.
