Last night I discovered Koa (https://github.com/koajs/koa).

    > Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, 
    > which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust 
    > foundation for web applications and APIs.

I decided to try it out by making a simple JSON-serving app that deploys to Heroku, talks to an AWS Postgres database, and has a simple DB-backed session/authentication system.

I pushed up my progress to https://github.com/danneu/koa-example.

I was looking for a good book about Node.js to supplement the random web tutorials I've found. But the only review on Amazon points out that this book does not cover Express 4. Too bad.

3 and 4 are similar enough, and the wiki has a porting guide, so it shouldn't make much of a difference. Besides, 4 is probably too new to have a book, anyways.

"Frequently bought together: Node.js Blueprints + Microsoft Hyper-V Cluster Design"

What? Seriously?

I thought that when I saw it. Maybe there is a large number of people looking to deploy node.js apps on "local" Windows clusters, though most likely there is just an error in the recommendations algorithm.
