Hey Neil,
I'm glad it's not just me that's overwhelmed about setting up a project. I know with what I am currently doing for a living, you make your life a whole lot easier if you can define what goes where early on. I understand agile is the thing, but you're asking for a kicking if you don't try and define what you need and how it will grow (as best you can) right up front. And then build ALL of it. The moment complexity starts increasing exponentially, you need to be ready (as best you can). I guess it's always going to be a trade off. I'm getting the feeling, the further i delve, what I actually want is an API, so perhaps Node is a good starting point. We shall see. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
