Workshop Description
Learn a workflow and build your first server side JavaScript website using Node.js, Express.js and other technologies.
Most tutorials for learning node.js focus on building chat rooms & small applications, but what if you are interested in building real websites using server side javascript? Express.js is a framework for building websites & apps on top of Node.js. In this workshop we will focus on learning a workflow using Express.js and launch a website using grunt.js, express.js, node.js git, heroku.

Hi Mark, Just thought I’d let you know I’m looking in to your question! Cheers, Josh
Do you know why your tutorial was not included in the video package that I purchased. Because of the network connectivity problems, I wasn’t able to get as much out of the presentation and was looking forward to re-doing the tutorial at work with good connectivity.

Please share the link to your workshop slide. I am in your class, but missed the link.
Nevermind, didn’t notice the links below the link to your site were direct links to the youtubes.
Hi Ray, Can you be a little more specific as to which Youtube to watch?
Thanks Eric. It is now using the correct git version. I followed the suggestion of moving the apple installed git and then reinstalled and it worked. Thanks again…looking forward to next week.
That’s not too old of a version so I think you should be fine. That’s weird that it won’t let you uninstall or upgrade. I’m curious as to what you’ve tried to uninstall with? Here’s a good stack overflow article to check out. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8957862/how-to-upgrade-git-to-latest-version-on-mac-osx-lion
Hi Eric
try as I might I can’t get git to override the apple version that was installed with xcode. I have removed xcode, installed git numerous times but still get:
git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47)
as the version. Will this work for the session or should I keep digging?
Thanks
Yes, You should have Node and git installed. I’m also hoping to show you the process of pushing to heroku, so an account there wouldn’t hurt. I recorded a video of the process for installing these on macs and PCs in my YouTube Channel. http://youtube.com/planetoftheweb

Will there be some prerequisites required, for example setting up our environment or installing certain tools and libraries? Thanks.
