This is a short tutorial on how to develop a new project locally based off the DoneJS place-my-order example. The main difference being this guide is more synchronous (goes more step-by-step to build the app up) and most importantly is entirely localized, so you can start editing and building your own API and assets module, in addition to the main app.
Create a directory to hold the project, api, and any local modules:
mkdir -p ~/workspace/my-app && cd ~/workspace/my-app
