When I learnt JavaScript back in 2013, Everybody were telling me it is just a script language - client sided and cannot be used to write heavy applications.

Guess what I proved all of them wrong and I am kinda rocking on it in building all my web applications. I built my website from scratch and believe me my website is totally a HEAVY application. Instead of using java to create applets to integrate into my php. I used JavaScript all through.

Not only did it make my web application more effective and reliable, it made it super fast.

My web application does calculations and shows the steps in a very unique way.

Thanks to JavaScript, I thought you programmers should know.

You can see my work at www.nickzom.com

Have a nice day!

Seen one of your android apps, and that has changed my opinion - you are good!

Nice one Nick

so simple in look and clean too. Can we see more works,even if it's incomplete. Are you on Github ? will like to fork your directory.

That's awesome..nice!

Nick your apps are wonderful, but just try to create apps with simple UI

That is exactly what I was going to say, I just had trouble putting the words together.

I am sorry to disappoint you but I am not in GitHub

Thanks guys! I learn everyday and will try to keep improving.

Funny dude, looking for free codes. . .

No,not at all. I don't know why you think it's funny but I hope - for your sake- you know not everyone come here for Jokes and silly comments..'No insult intended'

I am sorry if i offend you with my silly comments, I am truly a silly joker and I cant help being so.

JavaScript is the language of the future. I would like to know the framework you used for the server-side, Nickzom.

Server side of what aspect please? I only client-side o? Abi i don miss something? But FYI JavaScript can do both client and server-side.

No, it was for Nickzom. That's true.

Nice one Nick. More power to your elbow.
You can still get on with JavaScript on the comment aspect of ur site without using php at all. I would like to suggest u use nodejs- / MEAN stack with mongoose for mongoDB and jade as the template engine.

Yeah, MEANSTACK is the thing now o.

Yes o.

If you are referring to my website, the JavaScript I used where all client sided. I didn't apply any framework to the server side.

Thank you for the update. I will look into it more its just that sometimes I feel like php and its phpmyadmin DB is more secure and reliable than the rest. But I will check again may be I am wrong.

node.js is good for the server side

While acknowledging the potential of javascript especially for devs who settle down to learn it, it is important to remind the op that it is still basically a script that runs on the clients computer. This makes it less secure than server side languages. For example hackers can easily view your source code and know how u built ur app. Also it is not advisable to process or validate user data with javascript as this can easily be bypassed.

^^^Yeah, however you statements are exclusively for the client-sided javascript. But is null and void for the server sided one like node.js. Do you know that you can even use javascript to build applications to run on microsoft windows, games and all that - and i am not talking web browser related stuffs here.

Great work. But your fields are accepting alphanumerics instead of just numerics. You should catch that error at validation.

What u r trying to insinuate here is not correct based on the recent dev in the lang. JavaScript isn't only client sided again. It runs on different platforms now; server, desktop, phone, embedded system etc are some of the platforms on which JavaScript runs now. ICT world is changing all d time, one needs to be kept abreast of new happenings to always stay updated.
Thanks

I am aware of the use of js in other platforms I am simply commenting on js as it relates to web dev. It runs in the browser and this makes it unsafe especially for validating user form inputs.

^^^You are not speaking like a professional. There is both frontend and backend validation bro. The frontend validation is to save user's time while the backend validation is to protect from hacking - so in a real life stuff, you use both.
And websites like Facebook make use of javascript to do like 90% of their stuff. Go and try hacking them and see what you get.

Lets speak in practical terms, so i make a form and give it too fields:
E-mail TextBox
Password TextBox
Submit Button

I can use javascript to force a normal user to type in an email in the correct format (to save users time)
I can use javascript to make sure the password follows certain rules like minimum of 6 characters, contain letters etc
Now when submit button is clicked, it is makes sure that these rules are followed religiously

Hacker: can disable javascript entirely, or even use curl or a hacking tool to submit data to the backend disobeying the rules or even
injecting harmful substances like cocaine into the form data

Backend level:
- I will validate the email again to make sure it contains just characters required for an email and nothing else.
- Password, i might want to check the length again to make sure it complies

If both email and password are correct at the backend, then i hash the password with whatever algorithm i like, save the data and send
a message back to the owner of the form either via the browser directly or ajax indirectly.

So whether javaScript is enabled, disabled or bypass. The final security depends on the server script that is handling the MONEY TRANSACTION.

Cocaine

Monkeytail or whatever you call it. . . .just a figurative expression for illegal contraban substance

It removes the non numeric on computation. I made it that way on purpose.

Thanks for discovering anyway but a user can easily make mistakes so I filter the non numericals during computation. You can try it out and see.

I understand you brother! But I must tell you JavaScript is now more powerful than that . Anyway it all depends on the way you use it.

Thanks!
