Hi all,

Curious to know what is your favourite development stack at the moment?

Currently I enjoy building solutions with Nodejs and MongoDB.

nodejs is cool, but im battling to figure it out for a full web stack.
it's awesome for certain processing tasks, sending bulk mail etc, but not really for end to end web stuff...

yeah it's more a backend processor it seems. Can always just spruce up with bootstrap or similar
 
Anyone look at 'Parse' as the db option? Recently stumbled upon it and it looks promising.
 
it's super easy to build RESTful API's with nodejs, using something like express.

combine with a javascript frontend with sockets.io (and ajax fallback).


personally I am really enjoying javascript ATM, specifically using emberjs.

I also never get tired of java, especially since spring is now 4.0 GA, and they too have done incredible progress on this release, especially around first class sockets.io support in springmvc
 
I combine the Express.js framework with Nodejs to give me all the power I need. As also stated above added with the power of Socket.io it really makes real time apps simple to create.

For front end development I enjoy using Knockout.js :)
 
ASP.net MVC. I just love C#.
ServiceStack instead of WebAPI.
Knockout.js for the front end.

Awesome! I also love combining Knockout with MVC. I don't really like the idea of server side view rendering. My everyday job I use C# and SQL like most other corporates.
 
Sry to resurrect but, I use these for work, but will also use for a side project to become more competent:
ASP.NET MVC
Twitter Bootstrap
Knockout JS

Lol wut.
 
MEAN seems to be gaining popularity (MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node). Dojo also has some good features as a framework (which is now more of a toolkit). Had a hard time trying to wrap my head around AMD-based web apps and understanding it's purpose.

I have a problem with people trying to use a non-relational database as one, that is why i stay very far away from those very opinionated collections, such as MEAN.

What does AMD mean?

How come? Client side has it's own challenges when trying to ensure it works across all browsers. I'd rather do as much as I can on the server than rely on the browser. Especially in a corporate environment where 9/10 times you're supporting IE8+.

EDIT: To answer the OP, I've pretty much Java and then normally bootstrap for frontend.
Been using a lot of Spring MVC with Oracle WebLogic and really liking it (Spring, WebLogic I don't care for). Used to use a lot of plain ol' Java EE and that was on the IBM Websphere stack.

I have to say I swear by wxWidgets. Easy to grasp, perfect for prototyping any sort of deployment, portable and multi-platform. You can't go wrong with a large community supported project like this with its varied branches and forks.

Is that meant to compete with Qt?
 
Don't know what Qt's qualifications are, but wxWidgets is a broad framework more reminiscent of OpenFrameworks and a little OpenCV than simply graphical. It's kind of like C# for C.
