No: 1. Everybody's requirements are different. You might need an ORM to get a web site up quickly. I might need to avoid using higher-level abstractions to keep my code fast. 2. Node is a platform, not a framework. If you're not building your architecture up from node's standard library, you're not taking full advantage of one of node's greatest strengths, which is its minimalism. 3. There are already pretty broad divides between approaches for building full-stack apps in node. Some people get a lot of value out of Express and or Flatiron, smaller groups have strong preferences for other frameworks like Geddy, Tako, Restify or Strata (not exactly apples to apples comparison there, but you know what I mean, and that's also part of my point). I don't think it's good for us as a community to spend too much time trying to elect any of them as de facto standards. FWIW, I've been working on a substantial Node project full-time for the last five months, and haven't written a line of browser or front-end code. F PS -- waqasde, PHP and Node.js are both good tools for building LAMP-style applications, but they do take very different approaches to solving the underlying problem. You'd probably want to take a look at Flatiron (with Plates and Stylus or less) or Express (with Jade and Stylus) along with node-mysql and Sequelize and see if the sample code for those tools looks like something you'd enjoy working with. > On Sunday, October 7, 2012 2:29:26 PM UTC-7, waqasde wrote: > > hi, > > i am new to nodejs i have heard a lot about nodejs but i have heared from > > couple of guys its for real time applications like multiplayer games but > > its not for traditional php my sql websites like a ecommerce website. > > > > i have to develop a product reviewing website i have option to choose > > between php/mysql or nodejs mysql .due to new uprising technology i am more > > inclined towards nodejs > > as it might add some thing new good to my skills . > > is there any risk involved as i dont want to regret in the end . > > > > > > please guys advise should i invest in nodejs for such website ? > > > > thanks -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
