+# Node Backend for Backbone.js Employee Directory #
+
+This is a node.js backend for the "Backbone Directory" sample application.  This node.js backend uses the same MySQL datastore as the PHP backend.
+This backend also serves the static client-side files needed for the sample, so no additional web server is required.
+
+## Set Up: ##
+
+1. Create and populate the MySQL database, as described in main readme file.
+2. Start up the node.js-based application server
+
+	- cd backbone-directory/node
+	- npm install
+	- node app.js
+
+3. Navigate to [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)
+
