Take the tour ×  I want to rewrite a complete community website
in nodejs,express and nowjs with mongodb. Its currently in php
using the codeigniter framework. It includes functionality such
as your own profile page, photoalbum, guestbook, internal
messages, contacts and more. And im going to add an im to it and
some other things like a forum and so on. Its a pretty big
project.  I have to make a decision about which techniques to
use in the webapplication. So i did a little research and found,
node, Expess and nowjs. Should i stick to finish the application
in php( codeigniter ), mysql and ajax, or can i do this in
express, mongodb and nowjs?  Can anyone recommend this for use
on a live production site? And if so, are there any security
issues one should know about? General guidelines?  Help would be
really appreciated so i can make up my mind and finish the
project    share|improve this question deployment might be an
issue ( i sayd: might be ) –  Poelinca Dorin Apr 27 '11 at 9:58
