All right, I'll bite. Most likely, you can just take any technology that you want or like, they'll all behave. You can start with plain-ole PHP that has a huge amount of tutorials, classes, projects, articles, community. Or Django as you say, most people I know say great things about it. You can try something a bit more verbose, but also more capable, like Spring you mention. You can go a bit unusual with Haskel or Erlang or you can try the newer kids like Go or Node. But because you're learning Angular, I assume you're also getting a grasp on JavaScript. So I would recommend Node.js and Express. It's mature and stable and battle tested, the community is vibrant and usually helpful and it's also pretty flexible. You're also more likely to make fatal errors which will lead to crashes - like due to memory leaks etc - but I think it'd be a good thing - fail fast and learn from it. You might want to go with some easy to use persistence. Classic SQL starter database like MariaDB would work great if you want to go relational, but the tables might get confusing. And if you're learning, you're probably going to be changing things around your table layout a lot - so it's easier to just go with MongoDB or CouchDB for persistence - as there such migrations are usually non-issue and done with code. Again - much easier to make mistakes in design - but failing there is good too (Database design for a "I'm learning angular, what backend to learn" level of experience is probably a huge unknown). Fail, learn from it, iterate. The main point is that a lot of the "db design" if I can name it so is again happening in the code - so you're still only learning JavaScript. You'll also need storage space for backend. Amazon S3 or Google storage seems like a reasonable choice, but if you want to learn, maybe it's better if you start with simple local storage. I take it that if you go to that called-out 1 million users in 1 years, you'll also attract a lot of investor money which will let you pay people who can migrate and scale this easily to whatever. So for OS and storage, maybe something simpler like Scaleway starter cloud - which gives you 50GB of fast storage for cheap - would suit you well. Again - pretty easy to scale out of those things if you need to so don't worry much about it. But if I were to suggest a stack for somebody who's learning all these things today, I'd stick with plain Node.js/MongoDB/local file system for backend and then as they learn, break out of those bounds. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
