A friend asked me to write a guest-list app for a club, something like
A-LIST [1]. Guests (VIP) are maintained in a list per event. Plus, there
is a list of permanent guests, which are copied to each new event. The
app is password protected to the outside world.
I am currently investigating several options:
1. Use Google Spreadsheets + Scripting: I have no experience with it.
2. PHP (with Symfony for MVC): I'm well versed with that. So it would
be the most logical decision, and their web hoster supports PHP.
3. Node.js (with Express.js for MVC): Although it would take me longer,
I would love to do that because I enjoy JavaScript and I want to
strengthen my Node.js skills (which I also need for another
project).
Now, one of those totally subjective questions, simply because I need
some food for thought:
What is your opinion? Do you think using Node.js / Express.js is
robust enough already?
Consider that once the app is installed, we don't want to change it all
the time because Nodejitsu or whatever web hoster deprecates support for
a certain version of Node.js. PHP is very stable in that respect:
Changes to the fundamental API are rare. Also, there is always someone
around knowing at least a little PHP (for better or worse). Hm... I'd
like to go with option 3, but all logic speaks for option 2.
