I am new to node js and trying to publish a RESTful web service with it. I found few tutorials online but they are not very explanatory or meant for advanced users.
I did check rectify framework. But it seems to appropriate for advanced Node JS users.
You might benefit from taking a look at a few of the frameworks that are out there that make that sort of thing easier.
Take a look at express.js or hapi.js and see how they build routes, etc.
How new are you to RESTful services in general?
