Introduction

This is a Node.js project created to learn the basics of Express an extremely fast feature rich application development framework, Jade a high performance template engine and Stylus, a runtime CSS generation language created by TJ Holowaychuk of LearnBoost. Goals of the project not counting learning opportunities is to create a spring-board/boilerplate application for use in future Express applications that I create. I intend to update this project with future enhancements to make the project more useful and to version those enhancements with tags as time permits.
