Andy-H Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Recently I have been looking into nodejs and nowjs, I have dedicated time to setting up an Ubuntu VM to run it on and will be dedicating more time to learning to code with it. Just wondering, if anyone has heard of/used these and what their thoughts are. I have read one article that slated nodejs, saying that it's bad programming practice to have the code create the server as it causes close-coupling, also, I don't understand how it is scalable, as it runs as a single process, so using nowjs for clients to interact, they have to be connected to the same server, this is ok in a chat application, but what about facebook? With the six degrees of separation (recently found to be even less?), I don't understand how this would work as a scalable, real-time environment. Thanks for any help. //edit links http://nodejs.org/ http://nowjs.com/ http://teddziuba.com/2011/10/node-js-is-cancer.html <-- reading this gives the impression that Ryan Dahl tapped his mum or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
