#“Microsoft really taking Node.js seriously”
We're now on the Microsoft BizSpark program and one thing I want to try out over the next few weeks is getting our Node.js+MongoDB back-end running on Azure.
I spotted this yesterday on the Node mailing list and it shows how Microsoft now lists Node after .Net but before Java and PHP! It's now "Tier 1" inside MSFT which is fantastic news.
There is also a very very cool video by Steve Marx introducing Node on Azure, if you want to see how it all works. I was stunned how easy it was. And both npm and Express work fine!
Anyone know what the story is with WebSockets tho? That was a limitation in first release of Cloud Foundry but I don't know if it still is or if it is on Azure.
Very interesting to see Steve using Sublime Text as his editor. I bought v2 of this recently and absolutely love it. Seen by many as a Textmate for Windows.
