I got this link off twitter, and would like to share this article with the community as I felt that it is a good read for web developers.
http://metamarketsgroup.com/blog/node-js-and-the-javascript-age/ "Three months ago, we decided to tear down the framework we were using for our dashboard, Python’s Django, and rebuild it entirely in server- side Javascript, using node.js." "The Javascript age is about event streams. Modern web pages are not pages, they are event-driven applications through which information moves. The core content vessel of the web — the document object model — still exists, but not as HTML markup. The DOM is an in-memory, efficiently-encoded data structure generated by Javascript." I hope to learn from everyone's opinion on this.
