Add details to "Chapter 4.4 - Databases"

[xmwx38]

It would be very helpful if you add more details to "Chapter 4.4 - Databases" & go over basic usage. Some things to cover:

• Using Firebase instead of MongoDB;
• Installation of mongod command;
• Starting mongod service.

Why do you uprate your own thinguie? :P

Well in any case I'm quite confused, why do you want to add firebase, and why such a change could be better than the sockets + mongodb approach?

Just feeling curious about it. If you feel like you don't understand how the mongo is setup, I could write/update the docs about how to get one, but really, I don't feel like there will be a lot to gain about from adding Firebase...

I'm actually a big fan of Firebase. Both would work, but Firebase is much less complicated (especially for new programmers). Maybe I'll add a new chapter about implementing Firebase instead and keep the rest how it is now.

@Alevale That would be helpful if you were to add/edit mongoose section(s). In addition to any details/examples/samples you think would be helpful to add, here are some questions you might clear up:

• In the provided files, does the IP of the mongo server need to be changed if the mongo server is running on:
• [ ] current/local server machine?
• [ ] separate server/remote machine?

Thanks!
