Build a Real-Time Chat App with Sails.js

Sails.js is a real-time MVC framework designed to help developers build production-ready, enterprise-grade Node.js apps quickly. Sails.js is a pure JavaScript solution that supports multiple databases (simultaneously) and multiple front-end technologies. If you’re a Rails developer, you’ll be happy to learn that Mike McNeil, the Sails.js founder, was inspired by Rails. You’ll find a lot of similarities between Rails and Sails.js projects.

For more on Sails.js, check out chapter 6 of our book 9 Practical Node.js Projects.

You'll see just how quickly you can use Sails to build the app, implementing lots of functionality in no time at all. With just a few tweaks you can customize it and make it your own.
