Show Notes

In this episode, we have a discussion about what type of technology stack you should choose when you go to create your own project whether it be for profit or an open source type of deal. As programmers, we often struggle with balancing our ADHD tendencies to code in every language known to man, or actually trying to accomplish something and create a finished product! With that in mind, check out the show notes for Episode 17 to go see all the things we mentioned in the show.

What stacks to use when creating new software on your own…as a business or software as a service…

  • Linux - "free", fast, powerful
  • Windows - licensing costs, easier to use, familiarity
  • Xamarin - licensing costs can be prohibitive, truly cross platform for mobile
  • Azure - cloud services, relatively inexpensive for tinkering around, killer features, scalability
  • AWS - same as Azure
  • .NET - prohibitive up-front costs for IDE, plugins, etc. Familiarity a plus (for us), nice integration with Azure, faster development times
  • PHP - hugely popular on the web - maybe you've heard of it?
  • Javascript - seems everything is headed that way in one form or another
  • NodeJS - just keeps growing in popularity - fast, free, small learning curve, ugly async nesting, all modules aren't mature
  • NoSQL - seems to be all the rage, but is it really right for you?
  • RDBMS - grandpa database...are you still relevant?
