An introduction to Node.js, using Npm to install and manage packages, and using Node in a JavaScript application structure., 05/23/2016

Description

Web page functioning as a journaling website where a user can write entries including a title and body. Form submission will return the title, body, timestamp, and number of words in the body.

This exercise serves as practice for using npm and gulp tasks to streamline my development process including: putting the program's functions into their own module(s) using the exports keyword and using separate files for front-end DOM manipulation logic, using gulp tasks to concatenate, minify, browserify, and check code with JSHint, creating a build task, and a clean task, and keeping generated production files in a separate 'build' folder.
