Thanks. This is helpful. I am definitely going with any one of the platform now. Can you give me a rough estimate, how long would it take for a newbie to code a shopping cart in node who has never made a shopping cart. This would help me calculate if I have time to implement it for this project. Just a very rough idea. It would probably be only one time effort, then I can reuse it.
I really want to learn and code in node.js. Have not created anything with it but have gone through a lot of tutorials. Shopping cart is my main hurdle for coding in node. As most projects usually require cart integration these days.
