The Concept of Require

require.markdown

When you start working with WebPack for GameTime, you'll notice that you can't just define a variable in one file and find it in another as easily as you can in Rails.

Read Node.js, Require and Exports and Organize Your Code with RequireJS

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

• In the context of Node, what is a module?
  • A module is a little like a class in Ruby and allows you to package and reference information in other areas of your code. The only public information is what's exported, all other information is kept private.
• The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why?
  • They're organizing their JS into various files and using define() to require a module and bind it to a name for later referencing.
