Node.js and Javascript reaching new he ghts.i

Node.js support company NodeSource along with its users Intuit and

PayPal had formed a coalition namely EnterpriseJS.

What is EnterpriseJS?

It manages to capture the spotlight and boost JavaScript development through collaboration, conversation and education.

EnterpriseJS Coalition

...what was it all about??

The goal of EnterpriseJS is to grow the need and use of Node.js among enterprises .

It provides a platform for Node users who work in massive organizations to share their experiences, lessons learned, and best practices with peers.

Goals:

Today JavaScript is capturing the world with its new and advanced set of tools and enhancements.

It is engulfing the industries at a breakneck pace. With the emergence of Node.js the pace has been magnified.

About 89.7 % of the websites use JavaScript these days.The rise of JavaScript among enterprises is reaching a height which demands knowledge and best practises on how to scale JavaScript inside a large and multi team dynamic organizations.

This lead to the formation of EnterpriseJS Coalition.

some more facts...

How did it Happen?

This exceptional idea of EnterpriseJS Coalition was born on the Node Day 2014, which faced a strong question of how to solve the queries on the problems that rose due to JavaScript implementation in the enterprises. It was an unanimous thought to formalize a practice around sharing knowledge.

It looked forward to promoting best practices and learning lessons from bleeding-edge integrations and complex use-cases. It was a win-win situation for everybody by having wider knowledge about how to use the tools well, whichwill lead to their increased use.

Why these companies joined hands?

“Node.js brings with it an open-source ethos and culture of contribution that aligns with organizational goals to drive agility and improve satisfaction.”

- NodeSource, Co-Founder and President Dan Shaw

There was a lacking for a forum for discussing the solutions of the problems associated with complexities arising from large scale JavaScript deployment.

While all were coming together through Node.js, so defining the community as JavaScript at scale rather than just Node.js and server-side JavaScript made utmost sense. So yes, Node.js is a key part of that equation of which JavaScript is the answer.

The other side of the

Questions hitting our brains?

What if the motives for the coalition were not in the best interest of

other JavaScript frameworks?

What if it was just to get rid

of the competition?

● It is not consistent on all browsers.

● Integration with existing frameworks/APIs can at times turn cumbersome.

● There can occur conflicts if backend was not JavaScript based.

● If we push business knowledge into the front-end, even if we’re assiduous about code libraries and sharing, we still have to fight with the “Out-Of-Date JS Library” issue.

problems associated with JavaScript...

This coalition can as well be considered as a disguise to create that necessary hype in order to project JavaScript as a force.

But to say that the coalition was planned to draw the attention of the other enterprises to merely to kill the competition might be too strong a claim at this

point.

The doubt in our minds….

Conclusion

One has got to admit that when it comes to JavaScript, you can deny it but you can’t ignore it. JavaScript did indeed seem to revolutionize the way we use the internet. And the initiative of EnterpriseJS seems to be helping the cause.
