How to create a reusable JavaScript module for Python developers

Most Python developers will have this notion that JavaScript sucks and it's horrible. It's really easy to blame the language than to learn the quirks. It's true that JavaScript has it's quirks like Python. Each to their own.

Also, as Python developer we spend most of our time writing server side code. Creating a new Django view, updating a Model or debugging a SQL query. As developers we always believed that we are horrible at frontend prettyness. There might be truth to this statement, but if you believe you can't do something or try to improve you will always stay away from it.

MEN stack for Python/Django developers

I've always advocated that as a developer, a programming language is just a tool and you should be able to choose the right tool for the right job. Sometimes the circumstances will choose the tool for you. Imagine that time where you need a flat head screw driver and instead used a knife.

But I've been lucky to be hired as a Software Engineer and I've been working with the MEN stack which includes MongoDB,ExpressJS and Node.js. Which are all new technologies so I've been learning alot.

This post is to help other developers with a similair background as mine to make the jump from Python to Node.js.
