nodejs tips and tricks

I wouldn't use hapi. Better to stick with Express.

Thank you for your reply donpwinston, I originally was considering using express as it is more mature and in tests proved to be slightly faster but since discussing and researching I've decided to stick with hapi.js as it does more out of the box and requires less middleware.

I thought this was a good link to read.

In any case, I think the best way to experience nodejs is through personal projects. Admittedly, I'm just trying to build myself an ecosystem that does some of the things CI does.

That is routing, password hashing, form validation, emailing, file uploads,sessions, mysql querying etc.

Please if you have any thoughts or experiences with express.js please do feel free to share them here!
