title: ASP.NET Web Api vs Node.js
body: <p>I have quite recently started to connect a web platform that I work on to other quite complex systems mostly written in C#.
  Most of my experience is in web development in PHP and JavaScript
  And I also have some experience in writing web services in WCF.</p>
  
  <p>Sadly I had experienced many difficulties in writing WCF services for my PHP web platform, slow development, very (very) complicated configurations in-order to respond well in JSON and to work RESTful and more.</p>
  
  <p>Naturally I started looking around at other technologies, one in particular caught my eye Node.js which might be perfect for me because I have quite a lot of experience in JavaScript and that way I won't need my windows server anymore.
  My other option is of course to keep writing services in C# but switch to ASP.NET Web API instead.
  The switch will probably be much easier than from WCF to Node.js.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts or suggestions in the matter?
  Does anyone have experience in writing web services in Node.js and can point me in the direction of a good tutorial? or am I way off and I shouldn't be using Node.js for web services at all?</p>
