First of all, I'm an experienced js programmer, good also in php (exluding database design) but don't know much about how servers work.
I'm participating to a quite big projects that's about to start and I'm trying to figure out what's the best tecnology to use.
The application will be geolocalized, and will use google maps. It will have a lot of javascript rendering (probably on the front end I'll end up using backbone or ember, but still thinking). hopefully, it will be used by a lot of users. The will continuously receive data while moving around. Specifically, they'll receive data from clubs, pubs and so on. hopefully, it will coninuously grow over time, with new features, more data, more users.
I was wondering if node.js could be a good choice for developing it of it would be better to stick to more conventional php ways.
what do you think?
