The JourNode

I am Stanley Semilla, a software engineer from Quezon City, Philippines. I have never written anything about programming, or web development. For the past 4 years, it was Python and PHP for me. Basically, Python for my freelancing and PHP for my full-time job. Yes, PHP.

These past few weeks, I was looking for something to learn. I want to dive into a new (or not so new) technology that will help my career as a software engineer, or as a web developer. My brother helped me choose what I should learn, and he suggested me to try Node. I’ve been hearing a lot about Node, but I never tried the “Hello World” exercise.

Last week, I have already started NodeJS. Yesterday, I was able to deploy a Node-based CMS, Keystone. It was really fun and I am so excited to add it up my stack. I will try my best to write about my journey with Node. And hopefully, I can develop apps using it.
