Hi:
Is there and node.js advice, guidance, experience, tips out there?

Anyone with experience with ElevateDB and node.js?

Is a node.js wrapper in the works?

Anything? Anyone?

Nothing other than thoughts from me. I pondered it, looked at the
capabilities of Node and how it would work for my purposes (server side
smarts) and realised it wasn't a good fit for me. I think this is
backed up by Marco Arment's recent testing on the ATP podcast. Node is
good for basic server side operation where a request comes in, you do
the work, it stops. For long term operations, it doesn't seem so good.
Obviously you need to judge your needs.

But I did get EWB working just fine in PhoneGap, so with a little
effort it will probably do Node too. It depends on whether you can get
Node to call some function or not. And of course EWB is GUI based, so I
don't know if you can make it a standalone application without browser
backing. Hmm, just thinking about that - like making a REST call to
something else - would be hard if Node doesn't pretend to have a
browser there.

Anyway, I look forward to your detailed analysis and demo. 8-)

Matthew, thanks for the reply.

I just realised I posted to EDB and not the EWB forum in error.
