One frustrating part of learning how to use node is implementing JavaScript style OOP. I don't mean that Node's JavaScript engine is different than a browsers with respect to objects. What I'm talking about is understanding how to use objects in an asynchronous environment.

A good jumping-off-point when writing your node server is to use a handler function to route all HTTP requests to their proper functions. If you write functions that are specific to a url such as providing a web service that reads from a database and then writes back XML or JSON you can use an if-else block or a switch block to route the request to the function.
