Notes

• Should you have some difficulties solving the problems, please comment on the Youtube video

• As soon as you've been finishing the tasks, comment on the Youtube video so all other students can be pushed forward by your efforts

Running

• Server - Use the Node.js v18 and execute the server.mjs file as node nodejs-raw-websocket/server.mjs
• Client - You just need to open the index.html file on a browser. (I use Firefox for the examples)

Have fun!
