13. It is important for businesses to adhere to the
best practices and choose the right platforms
to get the job well done.
14. Principle
• DRY: how DRY is the the technology? is there support
for code-reuse and partials?
• i18n: is there support for translations and multiple
languages?
• Hot reload: are changes visible immediately or is there
a compile/deploy cycle?
15. Principle
• Performance: how long does it take to render in the
browser and server?
• Ramp-up time: how is the learning curve?
• Ramped-up productivity: once you've ramped-up,
how fast can you build things?
16. Principle
• Server/client support: can support both client-side

• Community: is there an active community using this

18. Principle
• Testable: how hard is it to write unit and integration
tests?
• Debuggable: is it possible to step through the code
while it's running to track down errors?
• Editor support: is there an editor with auto-complete,
syntax highlighting, error checking, etc?
19. Principle
• Maturity: is this a relatively stable project or still
experimenting and churning?
• Documentation: how is the documentation?
• Code documentation: do the software
encourage/require documentation/comments?
