My avenue of exploration is the potential to develop the front end to run in a browser using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript 6. Communication with the backend would be via JSON requests executed by Node.js that would communicate with MongoDB using the Mongoose Database Driver.\r\n\r\nMy questions are these, can Node.js be installed on iPad, Android, and Windows Surface tablets? If so then what are the correct steps for accomplishing this? If it is not possible, then how do we make it possible?\r\n\r\nI believe that Node.js has the potential to beat Java in the goal to write once, run anywhere. Especially since Apple have no plans to allow Java on the iPad.\r\n\r\nThe main devices that I have to support on all my future projects for which I am currently doing research for are the Apple iPad, Android Tablets, Windows Tablets, Windows Desktops and Laptops, Linux/Android Desktops and Laptops, and Apple Macintosh Desktops and Laptops.\r\n\r\nSo if I can just use HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript 6, Node.js, Mongoose, and MongoDB then I can eliminate the need to also employ the use of Java and Objective-C. Especially since my other colleagues do not want to learn and use Java or Objective-C, as they are predominantly C# and VB.NET guys.\r\n\r\nKind Regards,\r\n\r\nJason Alls\r\nSoftware Developer\r\nLucid Research Ltd\r\nwww.lucid-research,com"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nodeschool/discussions/issues/comments/130362783","html_url":"https://github.com/nodeschool/discussions/issues/1374#issuecomment-130362783","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nodeschool/discussions/issues/1374","id":130362783,"user":{"login":"stonemirror","id":412480,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/412480?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror","html_url":"https://github.com/stonemirror","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stonemirror/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-12T16:28:27Z","updated_at":"2015-08-12T16:28:27Z","body":"No. I’m talking about an iOS app named “Node”, available on the App Store.\n\n\n> On Aug 12, 2015, at 8:17 AM, jasonalls <notifications@github.com> wrote:\n> \n> Thank you for your quick reply. I'm having a look now at node.js for iOS on GitHub. I take it that I will have to download the project onto a MAC OS X computer running XCODE, and then compile and deploy onto the iPad.
