Development Ideas

Going Forward

This website is leveraging both Node.js and Angular.js. Node.js will be used for an API interface to Angular.js so that we can use both of these technologies to their full advantages.

Currently, in routes/api.js we have a simple "API" call returning a name to use within the Angular.js partials. In the future, all APIs will be written in Node.js feeding the Angular.js app.

The Node.js views and Angular.js partials are all written using the templating language Jade.
