Dayo Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Im looking at spending a few weeks looking at node.js, just wondering what others have thought of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Script47 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I used it a little and it was interesting. I plan to use it for in the near-distant future and hope to make things using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazardBoy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Pretty sick, incredible fast development. And if you love JavaScript you will feel at home. I started with Node JS, then got the hang of Express JS (node.js framework) and Mongodb (JSON db awesome!). The best of: is the code unification. Backend - frontend talk JS :). You can build real-time applications/game (with socket.io) and many more features. The only downside I think is the hosting. You will probably need your own server as the node hosting servers are not that configurable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a downside if you go with DigitalOcean! #DOFanBoy2k14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgengine Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I used node for my real time massive multi player browse based engine. http://www.bbgengine.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrux Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yea node is awesome. Perhaps even use a framework such as Koa ontop of node to streamline development. Whilst your at it, have a go at using a NoSQL DB engine man, check out MongoDB. They are awesome. The mongo driver for Node is easily installed too: npm install mongodb I've seen everyone here bang on about Digital Ocean. I've used http://www.webfaction.com for a while now and they are great man. Probably a similar service to DO but it's always to have multiple options. Oh and my website wrux.me is written in Node Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
