RunFirebaseDeploy

In this course, you will learn how to create and launch applications extremely quickly using Firebase. Firebase is a suite of cloud-based services designed to satisfy common developer needs. Known as a BaaS (Back-end as a Service) you get all the benefits of a back-end without the complications of setting one up from scratch. Once you learn how to leverage its services, you are going to exponentially decrease development time. 

During the course, you will build four applications using Firebase. Each app is designed to teach you a different Firebase service including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Storage and Firebase Hosting. Each service can be used by itself or in combination with other Firebase services. 

Well, what are you waiting for? Join me in the course to start learning Firebase today!

Full-Stack Web Applications with Firebase

## Who is chatting
In order to have an effective chat application, we need a way to tie each message to the person who is sending it. To do that we will ask each user for their name.
### Prompt for Name
This is some JavaScript logic that `prompt` a user for their name. This simulates an authentication experience without actually authenticating the user. Full user authentication using Firebase is covered in a later section of the course.

With JavaScript, we check to see if the key of `name` is in `localStorage`. If there is not a `name` then we ask for it with the browsers built-in prompt. Then, after we have the `name` supplied by the user we can store it to `localStorage`. If there is a `name` in `localStorage` before we load the page we use that for our app. This would happen if you supplied your name earlier, closed the app, then returned later. `localStorage` would remember what name you had supplied previously.

In this lesson, we explore how to make entries in the database by making our first chat message.
