I'm not sure that both Node.js and MongoDB appeal beginners.

These 2 tools are reserved for people who exactly know what they want out of their tools, not for someone who just jumped in to "web development" and wanted to use buzzword compliant tools.

Sorry for being such a snippy on Monday morning but I'm hoping people around me would become better at fundamental as opposed to combining tools w/o knowing what they're good for.

Why is MongoDB unsuitable for beginners? If beginners have a handle on Javascript it saves them from having to learn SQL and know any MySQL admin.

... and this is a good thing? as opposed to learn proper RDBMS first and learn the lingo of NoSQL (document vs key-value vs column-oriented)?

But I digress, people have different experience. I've seen projects got burned many times by beginners who have lacked of understanding of RDBMS and you may have entirely different experience where your project shines because of MongoDB.

I've pointed it in the first three paragraphs. No worries for being snippy. In fact, you aren't :)
