Thanks, I will certainly check those out. The market seems to moving towards full stack JavaScript for projects, particularly here in the UK, so I will look at mean.io.
Thanks for yur reply. I am happy to use this as a learning experience for new technologies if necessary, not really bothered how long this takes as it is a personal project rather than for a client. I am interested in learning the MEAN stack, but not sure if this project would be suitable?
I have an idea for a website which I have started here - www.letsgetlunch.co.uk. The front end if based on Google Maps with the usual suspects of HTML and jQuery, with PHP / MySQL as the backend. I am not sure if this is the best way for the site moving forward.
The site is just a list of food places within close proximity of your location (currently this is hard coded as St Pauls London, but will use GeoLocation). You will be able to filter the locations by what they sell. In the future I may add reviews to the site and there will be an extended description for the location in a pop-up / new tab. In addition to the site, in the future I would like to convert it to an app, potentially with PhoneGap?
I would like to know if these technologies are the best choice for the site, or if I should be looking at Node/Mongo or something else? Any ideas / suggestions gratefully received.
