Create your own collection objects in JavaScript

Does server side JavaScript have any advantages/disadvantages compared to other server side scripting languages?

There are several advantages to server-side JavaScript. The first is that it is possible to ?port? some functions from the client-side to the server-side or from the server-side to the client-side. All that is required is avoiding accessing the DOM and alerts. The second reason is a matter of taste, I personally prefer JavaScript?s error handling to VBScript?s error handling. The third reason is that, thought isn?t in Visual Studio .Net, ASP.Net supports a somewhat altered version of JavaScript called JScript.Net. The final reason to use JavaScript on the server-side is that it is often difficult to change gears, and languages, going back and forth from the client-side to the server-side.

I would agree that going back and forth between languages wouldn't be as efficient as sticking with one for both server and client side.

Can you recommend any tutorials/sites for setting up server-side JavaScript?

MSDN has some server-side JavaScript examples, but not a lot.
