Using Node and CouchDB to get things done

As I mentioned earlier, I love JavaScript. Today, I'd like to talk about how to use it to get (fun) things done. We are going to make a node data-mining script, and store its work in couch.

Let's make an app that uses node.js and CouchDB to grab location data about the awesome game Glitch, and store it for other apps we will make in later articles.

In node.js, REST is ridiculously easy. We are going to use restler to make it even easier.
