CS = ColdSpring IoC = inversion of control
DI = I presume Direct Invocation? (as in Explicit Invocation?) not sure about that one!

Which one to start? Aaron, Would you mind explaining some of the acronyms you threw around? Specifically: what is DI/ioC? What is ORM (I should know my CFUG just did a preso on Transfer I think, but I missed out)? You say, they all solve different problems. What are those problems, and how do these frameworks go about solving them? I can see that LW is LightWire, but you didn't tell us uninitiated what CS stood for. I personally understood the string of controller frameword initials you threw down, but for someone asking what to use two-letter initials probably don't help much. Can you expand please? :o) Thanks, Chris Aaron Roberson wrote: > First, you need to understand that there are different kinds of > frameworks.
