## BDD NodeChat

  This is a re-implementation of the [node sample chat room application](http://github.com/ry/node_chat/tree/master).

  The client side was virtually left untouched, but the chat server was entirely rewritten using [CoffeeScript](http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/)

  in a [BDD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_Driven_Development) manner using [Jasmine](http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine).

  The router, 
fu.js
 used by the chat server was replaced with the [node-router](https://github.com/creationix/node-router).

## Why?

 I just wanted to see how easy (or not) it is to write JavaScript/CoffeeScript server side apps in a behavior driven way.

 I was positively surprised. 


## To run:

### Compile using CoffeeScript

  If not installed: 
npm install -g coffee-script

  Compile server and bootstrapper: 
coffee -c *.coffee

### Start 'em up:

   
node bootstrapper
