For a long time I wanted to build both front-end and back-end in the same language, preferably Javascript but never had a good understanding of Node.
I finally took some course and put a few things together. The biggest issue I had was how to get a node server running. I’ve been so used to Apache that I couldn’t figure out how to keep a Node server running in the background.
This project was just a little chat room application that uses SocketIO for real-time notifications.
