Comments and Reviews
I learned how to code my first web app with Sailsjs, and since then (over a year and half now) I am still using it. I choose Sailsjs at first because it was so easy to use, and I am still using it now because it simplifies everything: from every details in dev to rapidity and simplicity in deployment. Additionally, the community is great and very helpful at SailsCast as well as large documentation is provided on Sailsjs main website, plus a whole book is written on Sailsjs (which helped me alot by the way). Last but not least, the availability of videos/courses/tutorials made my learning process of coding so easy.
Sails is more than just the Ruby on Rails and Laravel of the Node.js ecosystem. It enables the concept and convention to make any Node.js developer escape the hell of having to come up with concepts like "What folder strucuture works well for this project?" and also saves you from deciding what package to download to solve what.
Sails is the complete solution for web APIs in Node to full blown e-commerce websites.
It's just perfect!
