Node JS Development: A Suitable Way Developing Effective Websites

With the rapid change in web development and the use of new software, the use of java is declining. The new programming languages and frameworks are aiming at both the front-end and back-end development.

In the present times, the popularity of an application is determined by the user experience that it can deliver which in turn determines the profitability of the application or the website. The users are usually exposed to the front-end of an application but the front end experience depends on the back-end of an application. Some of the aspects of the back-end of an application on which the front-end experience depends are database interactions and performance. Earlier, PHP and SQL were used to create web based applications but they had their short comings.

The advent of the Java script and associated frame work libraries has helped the developers in making web applications that are more data intensive, this has helped in enhancing the user experience of the web based applications on the front-end. Newer technologies such as Node.js or Spark are being used by the developers for this purpose. Although one has to know Java in order to be able to use Node.js or Spark, but it is believed that gradually the use of Java will decline completely to give way to these new technologies.

1. Reliable and stable

It is a Java Script based application development platform. It is reliable and stable, and helps in building fast and scalable applications.

8. Makes use of Gridlocks

To prevent new threads from spawning, Node.js makes use of Gridlocks.

9. Lightweight and efficient

Is your website ready for shopping on a mobile or tablet?

Optimising a website is the new having a website – think how often you browse and buy on a tablet or phone, or how often you see others doing it.

The US general manager of Alibaba.com said this year that creating a seamless shopping environment on a mobile phone “will be crucial for any business that wants to grow in 2014”.

Shopping on your mobile or tablet – how many people do it?

Statistics show that more people are buying this way, as a quicker alternative to firing up the PC. With a mobile or iPad, it’s easy to buy on the go when you remember something, or while relaxing in the evening. These devices are convenient and to hand.

Research company eMarketer predicts that in two years, a quarter of all eCommerce will be done via a mobile device. That’s potentially one in four customers looking to buy on their tablet or phone.

The famous USA sale day ‘Black Friday’ is coming up soon – last year figures by Custora High-Growth eCommerce Index showed that 40% of all online shopping was done on mobile devices that day.

Does a website always needs to be optimised?

Usually, yes. It can be pot-luck whether a traditional website created for a typical browser window works on a tablet or mobile.  Often it’s there in spirit but can look messy – tiny writing, weird buttons, overlapping products etc.

Going back to what Annie Jie Xu of Alibaba said, it is about creating a ‘seamless’ shop for customers. Think about whether you would continue shopping on something clunky and confusing.

Optimisation for eCommerce is about streamlining the process to suit the small and medium sized screens of mobiles and tablets.

Ecommerce mobile app development – when to invest

Any eCommerce platform is likely to benefit from mobile optimisation, as it makes shopping easier for customers and can lead to a higher conversion rate.

We see mobile device optimisation as a sensible choice, people will keep using phones, and customers will keep buying online, in the easiest way possible. Mobile devices are to hand, they are already turned on, and with an optimised website, it should be hassle free.

In terms of budget, it comes down to what you need and what you expect. Project costs will vary significantly from project to project. We suggest speaking to a software company about mobile app development.

NodeJS and MongoDB Web App Development in Cambridge,London and UK – Eastpoint Software

NodeJS Development:

It’s a new-ish technology that has enjoyed rapid growth and many success stories, thanks to ease of building, and scalability.

Why NodeJS?

NodeJS allows us to use a single programming language (Javascript) through the whole app - that means on the server and client side, and on the server/NodeJS side. The benefit? Quicker to build and get running. And easier to maintain.

NodeJS is great for real-time web applications and developing data APIs. Like MongoDB, it is a fast and efficient database that allows for scalable development, so it can grow as your requirements do.

Every technology has it's benefits, NodeJS would probably not be the right choice for long and complicated processes.

NodeJS Outsourcing:

We have lots of experience working with partner agencies to deliver expertise that are not available in-house.

Call us to discuss an outsourced project, we are experienced with the process and always treat outsourced work with the same high standards, just as if we were working directly with a client.
