Since you seem to have the hang of JS already, you could try Node.js for the backend. You can reuse the same Models you've created in backbone, and choose your favorite DB from among Node's offerings (MongoDB, CouchDB, Redis or just plain ol' MySQL).
- hucker 15y agoThanks for your input! I've been dabbling a bit with node.js already on small projects, and I like what I see so far. I was hoping to use GAE though, but I guess that is not really a requirement. I do however worry that my relative inexperience with node.js would make it harder (for me) to really integrate everything I need like authentication etc. Of course, I might be wrong! In pure development speed I think doing it in Django would be the fastest for me, but I hate using the "wrong" tool for the job.

See http://fzysqr.com/2011/03/27/nodechat-js-continued-authentication-profiles-ponies-and-a-meaner-socket-io/ http://fzysqr.com/2011/03/27/nodechat-js-continued-authentic... The good news about node.js is that it's fresh and there are tons of howtos and tutorials out there already.
