A barebones Node.js app using Express 4.

This application supports the Getting Started with Node on Heroku article - check it out.

Make sure you have Node.js and the Heroku Toolbelt installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/ankybhagat/aob2869_cse5335-project-1-.git # or clone your own fork
$ cd aob2869_cse5335-project-1-
$ npm install
$ npm start

Your app should now be running on localhost:5000.

$ heroku login			#login using heroku credentials
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open

or

Run locally,

$ git clone https://github.com/ankybhagat/aob2869_cse5335-project-1-.git # or clone your own fork $ heroku login #login using heroku credentials $ heroku create $ git push heroku master $ heroku local web

For more information about using Node.js on Heroku, see these Dev Center articles:

• Getting Started with Node.js on Heroku
• Heroku Node.js Support
• Node.js on Heroku
• Best Practices for Node.js Development
• Using WebSockets on Heroku with Node.js

• I chose nodejs as server framework because it is open source and widely used. Also, I had never worked on this framework so I took it as an opprtunity to learn it.

• I chose Jquery as it is very popular and again a new thing to learn.

• Deploying the application to heroku and using it was something new and it was pretty simple than I thought.

• Being a layman to web development in client-server framework, I faced challenges which I eventually overcame, in understanding the concepts and integrating the server and client side scripts.

if any, and if so, what is their purpose for your solution?

• Nothing else was required. Apart from an Editor- I use Sublime Text.

f. What Ubuntu commands are required to deploy and run your server? $heroku create $git push heroku master

#Run Server $heroku open
