nodejs tips and tricks

... this gives you an appreciation for all the PHP functions and code igniter functions that we take for granted.

This is why I started this: https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-71482.html

Even you started this thread with, "I'm sure you must be aware of nodejs acquiring traction...". Only time will tell, but I have made quite a few LAMP based websites for customers in 2 or 3 hours, and I just don't know why I'd want to give that up. My average customer doesn't need a SPA, and I don't think the average person needs this node based website that the hipsters are cheerleading for.

I will say though, I've been learning more React/Redux in the last week, and I can see myself using it in my CodeIgniter projects instead of jQuery. I think it's going to be fun. I just dont see myself running node on the server and using Mongo and the like.

In time, I think what we're going to see is something like React that becomes super easy to use like jQuery. Those will be glorious days

Very nice, personally, I'm throwing myself into vuejs as it seems the best off those three although, it is personal preference.

Yes it is true PHP is super quick, but let's not forgot it is still scripting / interpreted so on the slowest end of the languages. Node is concurrent, and built for large asynchronous apps. I'm actually going to take a long into sails.js after I crack hapi, it looks more like a MVC framework which is what drew me to CI.

Debugging is a bit tedious in node. But i can imagine big companies wanting to move toward this.
