In your personal experiences what are the advantages and dis-advantages of Node.js?

Thans in addvance for sharing...

No worries. Here is what I would say...

Advantages:

• Very fast & Async
  
• Much higher performance when using websockets
  
• Easy to integrate with mongodb
  
• Has a lot of libraries with NPM
  
• May look familiar because you know javascript
  
  
  

Disadvantages:

• Is more difficult to setup than PHP+Apache
  
• Just because you know client side javascript (jquery) does not mean you know enough to right backend code
  

There are many sites that will go into more detail than I'll give in this post. But at the end of the day, you just need to see if node is good for what you plan on doing. Regardless, as I always say, it's always good to learn new tools!
