https://tutsplus.com/course/how-to-build-a-hypermedia-driven-rest-api/ by @rhodesjason

In this video series we’ll walk through building a simple REST API with node.js and express. By focusing on nouns, verbs, and relationships, you'll also finish with a clear understanding of what hypermedia is all about and how emerging hypermedia-driven API standards can make all of our lives as developers a little easier. ~ Jason Rhodes

var socket = io.connect();

var room = "abc123";

socket.on('connect', function() {
   // Connected, let's sign-up for to receive messages for this room
   socket.emit('room', room);
