I am looking heavily into full-stack implementation on one of my sites. Anyone else go down this path yet?

I am looking into several frameworks, but am guessing at this point it will use AngularJS, Node.JS, and possibly some React.JS. I'm still leaning MySQL, though.

I am digging in pretty deeply and hoping I can have this all figured out soon. There is a lot to sort out, so was curious if anyone else in the industry is doing this type of thing - or if I am all by myself :)

ha. Funny. It is quite possible nobody knows what I even mean by that. Was just hoping others are going down the same path.

If your intention is to create a site that SEO friendly site then you don't want to go down the route of using Angularjs, these are meant for 1 page web applications on API's.

We currently use Angualrjs on Nodejs at work, we use API's from various services, because services can be written in other languages such as Ruby, PHP, ASP etc you don't have to worry about understanding them all, just interpret the end points.

I would jump onto PHP, with MySQL (which you're doing) and learn API development.

Not that I'm au fait with the full-stack implimentation but I had an idea what you mean GaurdDog. Neil's post has cleared this up for me, thanks :)

I agree with Neil, use what's best for the job at hand.
php and mySQL are powerful tools, it's just some people use them better and in doing so, put them to their advantage!

I do love Angularjs, it is definitely the future of front end development.

Pretty much, makes it much easier to do AJAX calls, animation effects and validation without any other plugins.

I highly recommend the free course by codeschool.com

Angular can definitely be used for single-page sites, but can also be used for more than that. I agree PHP is a decent way to go - have done that for years. But I am looking to branch out programatically as well since Javascript and it's frameworks are not only increasing in popularity, but also are the way to program phone apps as well. I'm hoping that by learning a full-stack framework I can help myself begin better comprehension of phone app programming.

What is full stack implementation? From what I understand (from very limited reading), "full stack" is akin to "well-rounded". So a developer who is competent in most areas of coding.

I'd love to hire someone like that, but I can't see myself trying to learn new programming languages anytime soon.
