I am going to use:
- Express http://expressjs.com/ - Get some proper organization instead of JS everywhere
- Jade http://jade-lang.com/ - Template until my face melts off
- Sass http://sass-lang.com/ - Know Sass from Rails, so why not.
- Mongodb http://www.mongodb.org/ - aligns well with JS, good way to get into noSQL
- Mongoose http://mongoosejs.com/ - abstract away some lower level things
I am going to start here and see what happens.
