12,409 PointsHow do I set up a web server when working with JavaScript?
I feel like I've seen a course on Treehouse somewhere that showed how to do this, but now I can't find it. I just finished learning about AJAX basics, and the instructor says many times that you need a web server to work with AJAX, but never shows how to set up a web server.
I've even googled "how to set up a web server" and haven't been able to find any satisfactory results. Anyone here know of a good resource that teaches how to do this?

Treehouse TeacherThere's a workshop here on Treehouse that teaches how to deploy to Heroku which is a fairly popular PaaS (Platform as a Service). I believe it supports AJAX.
You can find the workshop here
Good luck!
edited for additional note
This workshop is specifically for node, but I would expect that the information gained there could be extrapolated to your project

Thank you so much! I'm doing the Full Stack JavaScript track and am just starting on Node.js so maybe I should've just been patient as my question looks like it'll be covered later. :) Thanks again!
