General Instructions

1. git clone https://github.com/therobinkim/express-serve-static-files.git
2. cd express-server-static-files
3. cd original or cd alternate
4. npm install
5. npm start
6. Open http://localhost:8080/public.html and http://localhost:8080/static.html; if the text appears in two different colors, then all of the static assets are being loaded correctly. (You can also open your DevTools to check for the JavaScript console.log statements.)
7. When you switch between the original and alternate implementations, make sure you shut down your npm start script from the implementation you were just looking at.
