Are there any other frameworks that you would recommend other than express for web applications. I guess for MogoDB you can use this model but are there ORM layers that you recommend or is NoSQL they best way to go with Node?

Geddy is a very full-featured (more like Rails than Express, which is more like Sinatra) web framework. I've never used it personally, but I know it's in production use at Yammer.

Mongoose is the leading ODM for MongoDB. http://www.learnboost.com/mongoose/

The LearnBoost team is very close to a 2.0 release of the framework that changes the API dramatically, so I've been holding off on using it / presenting about it.

If you want to know more, the lead Mongoose developer will be talking about it at the SF MongoDB meetup next week: http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-MongoDB-User-Group/calendar/14638779/

Most of the Node energy is currently going into NoSQL options. There are several Model - Database layers, but most of the fullest fledged front NoSQL database.

Thanks for the links, i have played a bit around with Express and I see how barebones it is. Its kinda nice to not have some of the overhead. I'll check out Geddy and thanks for the link to the meetup.
