    Something I left out:
    With NPM, there is a "global" mode and a "local" mode. Command-line packages (like JSLint, LESS, etc) should be installed globally (and you should add the Node.JS directory to your PATH environment variable for convenience). Packages that are required for your project should be installed locally, after changing to your project directory.

  2. I just had a quick look under the bonnet, and Trello (http://trello.com/) uses WebSockets via Socket.IO, just like my demonstration.

    Trello is an amazing demonstration of the sort of thing you can build with WebSockets, especially as it isn't the typical chat-room example.
