Node.js development is undertaken for the
creation of scalable server-side and networking applications. However, if your
developer doesn’t keep track of the changes that the node.js libraries go
through, almost every month, and is unable to address the version
issues, if any, can he/she still develop the desired apps for you? The
answer is no. For better results, you must hire someone who knows that node.js
libraries have an active development cycle. It is also important for the
developer to ascertain the platform’s feasibility so that you can take a look
at other options, if the need be.
For instance, if you need to get some CRUD (create,
read, update and delete) applications developed, he/she should be quick enough
to tell you that node js development is perhaps not one of the best options for
you in this case and that you should rather consider Ruby on Rails. But what if
the node js developer is not willing to accept the platform’s limitations
readily? Now, that can cost you a fortune, in terms of money as well as time.
So it’s better to avoid hiring any such developer.
That being said, you may also want to look
for another node js developer in Sydney, or wherever your business is based, if
the one available for hiring is yet to learn the event-driven, functional
programming aspects of the platform. He/she must move up the learning curve
really fast.
