GWT is ideal for Java developers who prefer to write in Java, but have to deploy in JavaScript. Pure JavaScript (or a JavaScript framework) are ideal if you either know JavaScript, or are ok learning the language. IMO, learning JavaScript i

Your assumption of $100/month is way too low.

Interesting view. Essentially a vertically integrated firm from the days of yore plus a new integrated customer experience. I like how he's thinking not about supply chain integration and customer experience in isolation. Plus, I total

Good article. I think one area where it could be improved slightly is to specify which type of use case the recommendation is appropriate for: 1. Node as a scripting language 2. Node + Express or Hapi or whatever as a web development framew

It may be a good idea, or it may not. You should discuss this with your clients. Also, set some price for it (people tend to discount the value of free, plus just b/c your customers will accept a free x does not mean they value x). My

I think the following is a reasonable path: 1. Read more books. Turn off Twitter, FB, whatever, and open your Kindle app. But be picky. Don't read crap. 2. Read every day. 30 minutes minimum at the same time every day. 3. Write code th

I've found the following really sets apart my programming now vs. earlier in my career: 1. I write and rewrite more now. I view the first time the code works as just the first draft (like I would with a paper). Earlier in my career I t

I totally agree. When I first started programming my comments largely echo'd the code, so I saw them as less valuable. Now I'm able to stand back from the code and write comments that reflect the "why", and let the code

In the tradeoff between a short post and a long elaboration, I erred on the side of being too terse. Node applications can be split between stateful servers (ex. chat) and stateless (ex. API for mobile clients). It's the stateless serv

Am I correct in understanding that the main benefit is that JXCore allows you to run x number of tasks in parallel where x is the number of CPUs? The problem is solved by running multiple node processes, which is standard deployment for

This is not really an answer to your question, but it sounds like you have PHP developers trying to become part time database developers. I don't mean this negatively, just that server-side developers are different from database devs w
