Cloud architecture tips you will not regret later
Even people in love with Single Page Apps and pooh-poohing server side rendering know that SPAs cannot just materialize in the browser. Something has to deliver them there. Until recently, AngularJS was the most popular client side JS framework, and I have seen all kinds of ADVs (Angular Delivery Vehicles) - from Node.js (N is... Continue Reading →
Following the fruitful series of open source contributions that include Kraken.js, PayPal has done it again with react-engine that brings true isomorphism to modern Web apps.
When I was a kid, I went to the movies to watch Mel Brooks' "History of The World, Part I". I had a great time and could not wait for the sequel (that featured, among other things, Hitler on ice, a Viking funeral and laser-shooting rabbis in 'Jews in Space' teaser). Alas, 'Part II' never came.... Continue Reading →
“Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.” - Pablo Picasso It was bound to happen. In the ultra-connected world, things are bound to feed off of each other, eventually erasing differences, equalizing any differential in electric potentials between any two points. No wonder the weirdest animals can be found on islands (I am looking at you, Australia).... Continue Reading →
In India, we don't call it "Indian food'. We just call it "food". Rajesh Koothrappali, "The Big Bang Theory" It was always hard for me to make choices. In the archetypical classification of 'satisficers' and 'maximizers', I definitely fall into the latter camp.

In case of myself and the project Kraken.js, it had me at "Node.js/express.js/Dust.js/jQuery/Require.js/Bootstrap". OK, not fit for a memorable... Continue Reading →
This post is the continuation of my trip report that started with part 1 on Node.js on the Road. NodeDay was organized and hosted by PayPal in their building in San Jose, CA, on Feb 28th 2014. The focus of the one-day conference was Node.js in the enterprise, which was a great fit for what we... Continue Reading →
Last week I hoped to blog-shame Guillermo Rauch into releasing Socket.io v1.0 for my own convenience. Alas, it didn't work (gotta work on my SEO), but I see a lot of traffic from @rauchg on the corresponding GitHub project, so my spirits are high. Meanwhile, I realized that for my own dabbling, v0.91 is pretty... Continue Reading →
As reported in the previous two posts, we are boldly going where many have already gone before - into the brave new world of Node.js development. Node has this wonderful aura that makes you feel unique even though the fact that you can find answers to your Node.js questions in the first two pages of... Continue Reading →
Last week I started playing with Node.js and LinkedIn's fork of Dust.js for server side templating. I think I am beginning to see the appeal that made LinkedIn choose Dust.js over a number of alternatives.
