Node's big advantage (some would say disadvantage) is that it uses JavaScript (or languages that compile to JavaScript). There's a good ecosystem around it. However, let's face it, the whole asynchronous thing is a pain - eve

Don't think you are gaining any SEO-benefit from one-page JS-only applications, just because Google made it possible for you to start ranking. No one is expecting to get any SEO benefits that "normal" pages don't have.

If anything but almost all of your website is static, you won't be saving all that much time. Single page apps can easily be static (static HTML page + static JSON). The point of this would be to decrease the download size for each n

But, have Yahoo or Bing or DuckDuckGo made the transition to be able to crawl the web with a full JS & DOM rendering engine? They can just use PhantomJS ( http://phantomjs.org/ ), which is free and open source.

What they were saying before was that you always need a HTML fallback for JS-generated content. Now it seems they're saying you don't necessarily need to.

For each new page on your site that your user loads, the benefit of single page apps becomes greater: Now she only has to load a bit of JSON, not a full page. So essentially single page apps are a tiny bit slower on the first page load, but

Author here. Some of you are saying that this will lead to bloated, JS-heavy websites. I disagree. The JS necessary for making a single page app can be done with something like 10 lines of JS (plus jQuery or something similar, but that is a

One potential problem here is that google will use this to widen the gap between it and the 'one page apps' web and other search engines (such as duckduckgo) that can't match it in resources. There are free and open source

I agree with you; developers definitely have to think about the URLs they're exposing to Googlebot. But this is essentially no different from how things were before. Your example with sorting a list by date instead of name would be don

Those who claims that developpement is easier with framework on a single page have too learn programming, because for most case, the "old" way works very well and is incredibly faster than a bloated javascript page. Who says the

The whole point is to make the experience better for the user: When going to each new page on the site only involves fetching a bit of JSON and not an entire HTML page including header, footer, JS, CSS, etc., that makes the user experience

Clientside rendering doesn't need to be heavy at all. In fact, you could do it with just $.getJSON('/api/users', function(data) { $('#users').text(data.content) }. Sure, that requires jQuery, but most &quo

As I mentioned in the post, all these problems can be solved by using real paths/URLs and changing them dynamically using pushState.

I see what you mean. However, given the large number of different CMSes, I'm not sure designers would appreciate having to re-learn how to design every time they use a new CMS. Right now they use a relatively small "default"

Once you leave design and layout to non-designers/non-layouters, they will ruin everything, and you will get angry calls from the companies' designers, complaining about how their beautiful design was ruined by someone using Comic

Braintree's checkout process is every bit as easy to implement as Stripe's. However, signing up for Braintree and getting approved takes longer (at least in the EU - I don't know what the situation is in the US). On the plus

I didn't dismiss anything, and I'm not saying $7.25 is okay. I'm merely saying that cost of living should be taken into consideration when comparing countries' minimum wages.

Before you compare it to American wages, keep in mind that Switzerland has one of the highest costs of living in the world. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/rankings_by_country.jsp

Fastmail.fm is a completely different option, I am using that as well, their biggest problems are: - lack of proper push email (on mobiles) Plus the fact that their servers are hosted in the US.

I see that Python is still used as hobby language and something serious is written in Java. Google, Dropbox, NASA, Instagram and Pinterest seem to think Python is more than a "hobby language".

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that Python is being replaced by Go. I don’t have a lot of information to back up this prediction except that most of the positive articles I read about Go are written by Python developers The fac

AdWords was run on MySQL up until two years ago. The vast majority of developers working on "web-scale" projects won't get to handle projects with larger requirements than AdWords. In that perspective the whole NoSQL trend ma
