Dive Into: Node.js et al, Part 2

Well, since Connect (and hence Express) removed the compiler function sometime after the tut I was using, Sass is not wanting to play nice with Express. And since I was not able to find a replacement middleware module easily, Sass has been replaced in my project with Stylus.

Other then that, things are proceeding nicely with the learning.

Dive Into: Node.js et al

So, Monday I started my latest new endeavor: learning node.js and some of its associated libraries. This foray is an extension of my main endeavor: creating a multi-user interaction site. The current overall project is for the kingdom building parts of my Kingmaker campaign. The present iteration of the builder is mostly done (80%). The kingdom map part done, but the district building has only just begun (5%).

The various libraries I'm trying out are Node.js, Nowjs, Express, Jade, CouchDB, and Sass (maybe). One of the starting points for learning all of this was this example app and the one mentioned in the article. Between these two examples and by watching some tuts on YouTube, I had a decent basis for starting. So, we'll see how things go.
