Code 201 Reading Notes

HEROKU

Walking through the steps, they were simple enough. But I have no clue what is going on in the background, and next to know clue what is happening even in the foreground on the screen. So much documentation will need to be read, and much lab time dedicated to this. But the ports, the “listen”, and the other parameters could just as well be defaults, since I have no understanding what they do.

I did understand the straightforward if (page) {show page} else {404} but otherwise, I was confused to know if that was javascript, or just a small enough bit of code that it could’ve been any type of language, or what. But again, after that code, reading over the “to skim” article it only serves to know there are a lot of little details to get right (or can get wrong) and I don’t know what is right or why. Hence: documentation! And tutorials!
