Node.js : A web developer’s journey

Punam Dahiya shares her experiences on “Why Node.js and how to effectively use Node.js in production”.  She shares her experiences and learning while rewriting framework of UrbanTouch.com, one of the leading player in on-line beauty sector in India. UrbanTouch platform was originally written using Magento, an open source based ecommerce web application built using Zend Framework.

To provide support to growing user base with a scalable Internet application , we are rewriting the site in Node.js , which is based on event-driven I/O programming model that uses Server Side JavaScript on a VM that is incredibly fast (V8). Javascript, despite its oddities can be a great language to code in.
