#basicChat
###1
express basicChat
comment out the below in app.js:
//var routes = require('./routes/index');
//var users = require('./routes/users');// view engine setup
//app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
//app.set('view engine', 'jade');//app.use('/', routes);
//app.use('/users', users);and instead, add the below in app.js:
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});create the file index.html under /public/
psst: it still works upon just adding the index.html and without the commenting out
###2
git init, .gitignore commits

cut the below from /bin/wwww and paste it into app.js
var debug = require('debug')('basicChat');
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);

debug('Express server listening on port ' + server.address().port);
});###4

socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
