HTTP-based chat server
This is a flow that introduces basic HTML and JavaScript, along with a minimal backend for message exchange between different users. It's the result of a Raspberry Pi workshop. The tutorial for the workshop is available here: http://www.slideshare.net/BorisAdryan/node-redcamjampibirthdayfeb2015
Note: The tutorial omits a { } pair in the /dialog branch's template node. This is considered in the flow.
