Requirements: nodejs

This project was created as sample server code for a javascript / backbone.js workshop. It has not been tested in real-life scenarios, because it's purpose has been strictly educational.

The workshop's goal was to teach a better style of frontend development with javascript.

The source contains two directories:

1. server
2. client

The server is complete and can be run as-is. The client directory has many parts missing, with the intention that attendees of the workshop would implement them.

However, the GitHub repository also contains a complete branch, which contains a client for this server that has been fully implemented. If you arrived at the github page, hoping to find a full example for a javascript server and client, the complete branch is where you need to be.

1. cd server
2. Run node ChatServer.js
3. This will start the server on https://localhost:8080/

After this, open the client code (index.html) in a browser. The url to the server can be configured in the client/js/chatapp.js file.
