Ask HN: What technologies should I use for my web application project? Hi, I want to build a real estate web application for listing properties (for sale, for lease, etc). Can you help me decide on what technologies I should use to build such an application? Let me point out that I am good with Java/J2EE + JQuery for front end but somehow I feel that is not the best solution for such an application. Should I store "real estate property" details in usual database (like MySql) or document oriented one (like MongoDB or CouchDB)? What should i use for middle tier.. NodeJS PHP JAVA/J2EE Python ColdFusion Ruby on Rails or something else ? I am planning to use JQuery for the front end. Thanks. |
