Node.js has been around for a while already, strengthening the JavaScript everywhere doctrine. It is now widely used by various companies, including some market giants, such as Uber, PayPal, and Netflix, growing to be a viable alternative to Java or PHP. But as it’s relatively easy to compare these technologies in terms of their performance [...]

Which solution contributes more to web development? In one corner, we have the great old one, lingua franca of corporate IT and the once (and forever?) king of internet programming. Its opponent, the young challenger, Node.js, is the recently raised future ruler of web app development, spawn of the omnipresent JavaScript. Is this the ultimate [...]

The background story Long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… JavaScript and PHP ruled the internet together. PHP handled server-side tasks and JS managed details in the browser. This non-aggression pact supported pillars of the internet and lasted for years. Everything changed when Node.js emerged, and suddenly, there was no longer need [...]

A few weeks ago, in our article Famous apps built with Node.js, you could see the quite impressive list of companies that have already given Node a chance. But why did they do it? If they had a functioning application, what was really the reason that made them change the technology?Obviously, all of these companies had [...]

JavaScript changes over the horizon The two major open-source JavaScript foundations, Node.js and JavaScript, have recently issued an announcement on their merging plans. The information released on the 4th October 2018 sparked a discussion over the communities’ future.

Are we facing a new revolution right now or is this just a slogan pushed by self-proclaimed “tech evangelists”? The history of market revolutions takes us [...]

Everything fails, that’s a fact. Not even the best system has 100% reliability, right? But then, how many times have you seen Google being unavailable? I’ve never seen that, or if for some reason Google wouldn’t load, I’d blame that on my internet connection. There’s no way it’s Google’s fault. Believe it or not, but [...]

UI and UX are widely discussed but still somewhat confused. There is a plethora of materials, an overwhelming number of meetings taking on the topic of UI/UX, but just because of that slash right there, many assume that both of these terms are the same and can be used interchangeably. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. [...]

Who owns the robots owns the world, as Richard Freeman, a professor of economics, stated in his article published in the Harvard Magazine. However, there are robots and there is RPA. While Robotic Process Automation doesn’t mean building an actual bot – it’s a process, engaging the machine in mimicking human behavior - robotic solutions [...]
