Re: Node.js vs. MS .Net Web Application Development

If/When .Net run natively on IBM i then I would agree with you.

Which begs the question... Richard, do you know if anything is in the works
on this front now that Microsoft has open sourced .NET?

Yes it can Richard - but all except desktop require a Windows server in
the mix - and here on an IBM i centric list that normally isn’t what we’re

In case you didn't know, .Net can be used to develop desktop apps, web

apps, web services, etc.

So your understanding of .Net server centric apps is partially correct.

it all depends on the type of app you need.

If you happen to write an EXT JS application you can use any server back

end as you should already know (IBMi, PHP, .Net, Ruby etc.)

I thought you understood that any web app platform can backend an EXT JS

client ?

Arrh Richard

there is very big difference if you develop server centric applications
(like .NET)
or client centric applications (like EXT JS) that equals the binary

APP's.

And there is very big difference in how the server side "looks like" in

the

two
different paradigms.

But you may have overlooked the difference ;-)

Hmm... At least to the client side comment I would think they are all
using HTML/CSS/Javascript for client side development so not sure your
statement on that one rings true.
