Introduction

I first created this program as a way for my computer science teacher to be able to help the students in the computer lab who need help - there were often four or five people at a time with their hand raised! This led to people waiting for ten minutes while someone across the room got help immediately after raising their hands. To try to keep things more fair and equal, I wrote this program as a help request server where students could make a request and show up in a list in order by who needed help first. That way, wait times would be more fair.

I used Node.js with Socket.io so that the teacher could have an aide or two with the "teacher" page open as well and have new requests show up on all open pages as well as completed requests disappearing from all instances.
