MongoDB: A NoSQL database used when scalability or high performance are required and some of the functionality that traditional relational databases provide isn't. Eastpoint are registered MongoDB partners and host monthly expert meetups. NodeJS: An increasingly popular way to build scalable apps, using Chrome's Javascript runtime. NodeJs is used by businesses such as Groupon, eBay and IBM.

It's another Javascipt technology, so works perfectly with NodeJS and MongoDB. .NET: Microsoft's long standing heavyweight has had a serious update over the last two years resulting in a huge improvement in developing web-based apps. Eastpoint are registered Microsoft Partners, having been working with .NET since 2005. HTML5 and CSS3: Last but certainly not least, HTML5 is powering the next generation web experience, both on the desktop computer and mobile devices. HTML5 brings a host of advancements and tools, although we're still waiting for browser fullfillment of some of it's promises. Java: The most popular and well established enterprise development language gained further significance as it also the basis for developing Android apps. Javs is still going strong! SQL: In all their glory, SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL are the long established go-to databases behind the majority of enterprise applications. They are all based on SQL, and it is likely to remain the most popular means to store application data for some time.
