I just started using Nim this weekend, so this is some nice serindipity :) Do you have more recommendations for someone who has programmed for years but new to Nim to get up to speed? Specifically I'm looking for using it to do hosting and websockets, but anything would be helpful.

I don’t know about other web-guides. Nim’s official website is made with Nim and available at Github[0], but it has become at bit more complicated after they switched to Karax[1]. Jester’s tests gives a good view on the routing procedures[2].

The official tutorials[3] are pretty good, when you get the grab on how to ”decode” them. For web development with websockets and microservices I would suggest you to have a look at the Redis package[4], and @treeform’s Websocket[5] and JsonParsing-packet[6].
