As a passionate Java developer I always looked down a bit to JavaScript. This language looked too much like scripting and too little like programming to me. Nevertheless JavaScript is the language of the Web and this won’t change soon! In the meantime I found out that there are very capable libraries and frameworks available in JavaScript. With them it is possible to develop isomorphic applications what means you can use the same code on server as on the client. Thus you can implement web application with a database backend with less effort than ever before. In a coming posting I will tell a bit about my experiences with the JavaScript libraries React and Meteor (and more).
