mamund / building-hypermedia-apis Goto Github PK

There are not references to the register page from the user.ejs or the users.ejs files. Shouldn't there be a link or something so consumers would know how to create new users?

In the json example, this was included on the collection resource. Would it be the same here?

P. 43 (among many others) of Building Hypermedia APIs with HTML5 and Node points to an appendix page saying that the source for the apps in the book can be found at amundsen.com. Unfortunately, there's no link from that page to this repo, or to a zip file, or anything else useful. It's only due to some digging and guessing about GitHub that I found this repo in the first place.

Your book is good! It's way more useful with the source available!

Loaded and tested CouchDB with tasks worked OK. I am using Windows Powershell, localhost:3000 index page loads but no data.There is a server error when running the collection code:

Hi Mike,

I have gone back and read your Hypermedia book (and two other newer ones). I am appreciative of your work. Thank you.

FYI, I have tried to run your code here and run into error. Not sure if it is node/npm/ejs version issue or something else...just letting you know. I realize this is old code but passing along the information anyways.
