Just a simple blog I'm creating to learn a bit more about NodeJS. The system uses and in memory database LokiJS for ease of setup and deployment.

• ejs - templating library
• ejs-mate - templating library for layouts etc
• express - web server
• lokijs - in memory database
• moment - time formatting
• siege - basic load testing (node benchmark.js to try it out)
• bootstrap - css layout
• compression - gzip
• chai - unit testing
• mocha - test runner, use 'gulp' to execute tests
• gulp - automated tasks, used with mocha for unit tests.

• clone repo
• run 'npm install'
• adjust settings in config.js
• run 'node setup' (this will setup the db)
• run 'node app'
• navigate to http://localhost:{configport}

Unit tests are run via command line using the 'gulp' command which will create a separate database file to test against.
