Microsoft veut offrir une alternative pour Node.JS

Le succès aveuglant du Web ces dernières années repose notamment sur sa standardisation. La standardisation permet de s'assurer que personne ne sera dépendant d'un éditeur: ni les utilisateurs, ni les créateurs de contenu. C'est ce qui permet par exemple à un développeur de créer sous Linux une application qui fonctionnera sous iOS comme sous Edge. Pourtant, il y a toujours des éditeurs qui veulent rendre le Web propriétaire. L'enjeu est énorme, et on a vu de nombreuses tentatives dans le passé. Pour n'en citer que quelques unes, Microsoft avec IE6, Apple avec les applications iPhone, Google avec Chrome. Pour les développeurs, la tentation est grande de tomber dans le piège de la dé-standardisation. Ainsi, on voit quantité de développeurs Web qui voudraient que WebKit soit le seul moteur pour les navigateurs Web. Bien sûr, ils se disent que ça leur ferait moins de travail de vérification de leur code sur les différentes plateformes. Mais c'est un choix perd...

Meteor in real life

For a client's project, I recently selected Meteor . It promises a lot, like many frameworks, but the difference with other frameworks is that it holds to its promises. Basically put: Meteor is one of the most productive frameworks I ever tried . Meteor produces Web applications that run under Node.JS using MongoDB . And does it extremely well. It provides you with a command-line that makes most tasks easy and painless: create a project, use packages, and even serve it locally. There are many packages that allow to create CRUD applications quickly: MongoDB schemas, automatic forms creation for CRUD operations, automatic APIs for CRUD operations, client and server-side routing, authentication, themes, admin dashboards. Plus the documentation is extensive. What are the cons? Well, I can see two of them: Deployment can be harsh if you are self hosting. It's a steep learning curve. You can rapidly create your first application, but coding correctly means understanding a l...
