1. To read my book on JavaScript and do the tutorials

• Currently I've read a couple chapters but I have not done the practive problems
• In one year I've read the entire book and done all the end of chapter exercises

To set up communication between two applications I would use websockets.
For n applications I would use websockets.

What does the V3 iteration of stories to work on look like and what would I like to work on?
  - Not sure where these user stories are, however if they are open issues which I assume they are, 
    I'd like to work on background workers with Beth, Angel List API connection, job view page, and zip locater, possibly tech searcher as well. Also User Loading sounds super interesting.
    
What kind of testing is the app using and do I not understand anything happening there that I should clarify?
  - Testing is using RSPEC, nothing looks too crazy in the testing suite. Also factories are used as well. 
  
Are there holes in the test coverage?
  - There are a few holes, there is less than 90% test coverage, the we work remotely service needs boosting. 
What are services and how are they being used here?
