If you want to learn the basics of server-side programming with node.js, you have come to the right place. In the instructions page of this repository's wiki are easy-to-understand instructions that will show you how to get a simple localhost server running.

What does it do?

The instructions will show you how to create a server that you can access from any device connected to your router. When you access it, it will send you hypertext via hypertext transfer protocol (http), which will result in a webpage. On the webpage is a large text area. When you type something into this text area, it will send a message to the server that will tell it to update the text area for everybody. This is basically a much simpler version of Google Docs - one person edits the document and it updates for everyone.

Warning:

Don't put information that is too important or too valuable into the document; one small problem and the information is gone. If you even close the lid of the computer that is acting as the server, the document's info will be gone.
