This blog post was created as a follow-up for those who have tried the new live beta application at play.wakanda.org. Wakanda has been presented as a full-stack solution for web and mobile development, but that description turns away some

developers At first, it even turned me away.
I recently joined the Wakanda open-source project as a Developer Advocate. My first mission is to make Wakanda Server compelling for the experienced web developer who likes to code by hand.
Wakanda Server is a multi-threaded web server as well as an object-relational, transactional, and thread-safe datastore that runs JavaScript. For C++ developers who want to dive into Wakanda Server's source code, you can find it on GitHub. Wakanda Server was designed by Laurent Ribardière, who has been designing and programming databases since the mid-1980s. I interviewed him for my radio show and… well now I work for him.
Wakanda Server is really slick. But until now it has been stuck behind a “you need to use our IDE” wall. Even though Wakanda Studio (Wakanda's IDE) has grown on me, I want to focus on Wakanda Server right now along with a few additions in the Development Branch that make developing for Wakanda Server more liberating.
A Screencast Walkthrough
The example Wakanda project I use in the ServerCodeWaltz screencast is available on GitHub.
ServerCodeWaltz <- example code and Beta Server download instructions.
Editor's note: To use ServerCodeWaltz, you need a specific build of Wakanda, as specified by Lyle in the above link.
You can tell that we are changing things by opening Wakanda up to more developers. Leading the Wakanda development team as Product Director is Ricardo Mello whom I met last week at the San Jose office. He and I have some alignments and I really like the way he is improving the development cycle and the transparency of what the team is working on.
I'm going to Paris next week to meet the development team, visit Laurent (hopefully geek out again on his latest enhancements) and get updates from Ricardo. I'll keep you all posted on what I discover.
