This isn’t a tutorial or anything like that, merely something i felt like sharing.
Recently I’ve switched jobs and part of that switch involved moving from a microsoft .net environment to a nodejs mongodb environment.
I was initially extremely hesitant to try these languages / technologies coming to the party with a wealth of back end knowledge and not much front end experience i had a lot to catch up on in a very short time.
Some of the things I’ve learnt in recent weeks such as jquery underscore mongoose passportjs express locomotive and various other frameworks seemed daunting at first but have proved to be amazingly fun and easy to work with.
So if you were sitting on the fence about making the switch then I’d urge you to try out node and mongodb it takes a little while to get your head around a nosql database and working in callback hell but its well worth it in the long run.
