start-web-dev v0.3.0

tldr; I am new to node, so this is amateur hour!

This is an attempt to put together a starting point for doing web development with Node. The way I use this is I clone it from github, delete the .git file, push to a new git repository, and voila.

The focus of this is to use om/clojurescript like development for Node. In this vein, I use Immutable for all data. I also really like the idea of a reducer as put forth by Redux and so I include that as well; this gives you a place where all state + event => state can be centralized. This feels right. Finally, Karma is pretty good at running your test on save, that is convenient.

COMMANDS: (Run npm install to locally install all the below commands)

DEVELOPMENT: I run three commands

npm run watchify-test -- keeps rebuilding main.js and test.js into bundled-test.js

npm test -- Starts the Karma test runner

npm start -- Starts the development server at port 6060, so I can inspect myself

PRODUCTION: I use the following:

npm browserify -- converts main.js into a bundled.js form
