Node.js + MongoDB

I can’t even begin to describe how cool this stuff is! Imagine being able to write both client- and server-side applications using the same language and syntax. Thanks to Node.js you now can.

Node.js is an event-driven I/O framework for the V8 JavaScript engine by Google. It is intended for writing scalable network applications such as web servers in pure javascript.

If you combine this with MongoDB (a scalable, high-performance, open source, document-oriented database) – the possibilities are endless!

I have just scratched the surface on this and don’t yet have any examples ready for the public, but it seriously took me about 20 minutes to build a working chat room.

Got you interested? Read up on Node.js at GitHub, Wikipedia or Mashable.
