That is just a way to create artificial job security. Rules is another word for standards. The standards are loose enough that you can modify them. Without standards, there would be no Internet, no POP3, etc. Frameworks can eliminate spaghetti code that is inevitable when 4 different developers all code with their own style on the same site. Frameworks promote team-based programming. If you always code alone, then you are right. You don't need them.

I don't see what in non framework application makes reusing any code any more difficult. - Flexibility? Framework means rules, how can rules add flexibilty? - Maintainability? By someone who knows the framework, may be, but for other (most of the time), it is like hell. - documented code? Any code should be documented, in a framework or not. Frameworks do not create documentation. Anyway, any experienced programer will end up with his own way to design applications, this is some kind of a framework, and it is the best one, because it is HIS. Gee I'm using a framework, and I didn't even know about it ;-) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234287 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
