Web 2.0 startups. Choice of JavaScript framework
Summary
It is incredible how far web technologies have advanced over the last several years, and it would be hard to dispute that JavaScript frameworks were among the main forces to drive this progress. By providing a wide set of tools, and, more importantly, by making client-side scripting easy to learn and use they allowed web developers to build complex, robust, and highly interactive online applications quickly and efficiently.
Nevertheless, while aiming to solve similar problems, modern JavaScript frameworks differ in their approaches. The choice of the right tool for the job is often not an obvious task which depends on both the team and the project at hand. As it is one of the earliest decisions an engineering team has to make when starting a new project, we decided to write this white paper in order try to help you make this decision in an informed and consistent manner.
Web 2.0 startups. Choice of server-side technology
Summary
If you try rewind your startup's lifecycle to the very beginning, you would probably find that an exciting idea was born first, and everything else came second, including the underlying technology choice. Still, at some point technology decision had to be made, and this decision was a really crucial one – it may have created many risks for your fledgling venture. In hindsight, these risks could have been removed from the very beginning, had the technology choice been the right one.
This paper is dedicated to people who are stakeholders in early-stage web enterprises - and who have reached a point when core software technology for their product has to be chosen. This paper is for web startup CEOs, CTOs, engineering teams and all those who are involved in the technology decisions for their products and services.
