First, your "equality" is a very inaccurate one. Second, picking a framework in isolation is not a good approach. You'll need to evaluate different frameworks in the context of the target application. Different application styles are better suited to different frameworks. If the project is going to involve more than a couple months of development (and really, even if it's quite a bit smaller), you owe it to yourself to at least build a couple proof-of-concept apps with different frameworks to get a feel for them.
Third, consider the type of developers you have at your disposal. Are they all formally trained CS guys with years of experience? Are they all HTML guys that turned into CF guys? Do they have a handle on OO concepts? Do any of them have experience with any of the frameworks you're considering? Finally, check out the community resources for the frameworks you think are best suited. Documentation is one aspect, but mailing lists, forums, blogs, etc are all also quite important. Also consider the growth potential of the framework. Does it have an active community driving it forward, or is it just floating in limbo? Every developer has their own preferences for frameworks for different use (I happen to like Fusebox 3/5 (yes, that's a 3) for my UI controller and ColdSpring for my service layer). The right one for you is necessarily up to you. cheers, barneyb On 12/20/06, Richard Dillman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok so our benifactor wish us to learn a framework and hes not too shy on > cash. > > What would you as the comunity suggest is the most widely used of all the > ones out there. > > Widely used = more info = shallower learning curve. > > I didnt find much when searching so if its been hashed before just ping me a > link. > > thx guys/gals > > -- > -- > Richard Dillman -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
