- antjanus 10y agoI'm actually not a big fan of that article :/ or rather, I disagree with it. I've been meaning to write my own piece on it. But the summary is: you can make it as easy or complicated as you want it to be. And I mean, every technology has the same issue. Take PHP for instance. Want to learn it? Cool, it's super easy. Want to build an app? Okay, so there these different frameworks. Oh btw, you should know about composer. And autoloading. Did you also hear about DI that Symfony uses? etc. etc.
- pbreit 10y agoThis strikes me as the type of app that would be fine in Rails/Django and much, much easier to develop, maintain and enhance. I'd reserve Node/SPAs for 1) realtime or 2) UI/UX intensive. Landdox seems neither.
