A lot has changed in web development over the last few years. One of the biggest sweeping changes is utilizing the awesome development power of NodeJS.

____________________

Summary

  Node speeds up development, which speeds up deliver, which reduces costs. It encourages clean, reusable modules that are available openly and freely. It costs you nothing to use it. It costs you a lot of extra time and money by not using it.

  It’s simple, affordable, and can work with your existing web software, sites and solutions.

  It doesn’t cost you anything, you don’t have to change anything. You just have to have someone that knows how to use it!

NodeJS is a web development tool.

In a nutshell, it’s JavaScript that bridges the gap between front and back. It enables you to develop amazing things for the web both faster and easier. This gives you the ability to use an agile development process (ship more frequently, get feedback, adjust accordingly) to keep your project on point.

You need to build the right thing. Sometimes that means testing your theories, ideas, and assumptions in the real world. In order to do that, you’ll need to do at least two things: publish it and make improvements.

The more time your designers and developers spend developing the work you’ll publish, the more expensive testing your approach is going to be. In the end, there’s a good chance of you’ll wind up in one of one of these realities:

– You end up settling for a sub-par product because at least it’s done.
– You bail on the project months later with negative returns on your investment.
– It’s finally perfect, but it cost far more than it was supposed to.

None of these are good for your bottom line. That’s why Node is so great!

You can test your theories almost instantly, because you’re doing more in less time! Node is a powerful profit multiplier, because it reduces your overhead by factors.

I’m not kidding, when reducing cost through added efficiency, we’re talking X00% gains (Between 4 and 8 times faster, in my experience).

That’s crazy! Why isn’t everyone using it?

Because it’s still fairly new. It’s sort of like gasoline versus solar power: one is cheaper and cleaner, the other is widely available with a lot of existing infrastructure built around it. That’s perfectly okay because you can benefit from both!

A lot of confusion in the development community seems to be on exactly what Node is. Forget about that, because it is nowhere near as important as what it does.

What Node does:

  – Creates a portable development environment that can be shared across many different workstations.
  – Incentivizes sharing and collaboration to focus less on code so you can get more done.
  – Reduces development costs my removing confusion and incompatibility.

Why you should be using it:

  – It can work within existing infrastructure.
  – It speeds up the development process by factors.
  – You don’t have to change anything – it’s simply adds value.

You want Node. You don’t have to go all out. You can use it as little or as much as you want. That’s part of what makes it so great.

All you need to get started is someone that actually knows Node! We’re a fairly small group of go-getters that are dedicated to constantly getting better and staying on top of changes in our field.

The world changes fast, and the web even faster. Get someone that can keep up and deliver you faster, cleaner results!

Developers: I realize Node is a JS runtime. I realize in the strictest sense it’s the back-end API that handles server requests. It can also be used in non-production environments, giving you all the speed and flexibility it offers all the way until it’s time to put the final work into production.
