+ * As far as I am concerned, Cocoon is the only decent framework for creating web applications. I've tried a little of everything: CGI (in C), server-side includes, Perl (assorted libraries), PHP, JSP+Servelets, and even a little ASP. The result is often a mess and a maintenance nightmare. Cocoon is worth the learning curve. -- [Larry Lansing] + Page: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=TheyDontLikeCocoon , version: 17 on Sun Jun 29 18:39:51 2003 by LarryLansing - * There are three major ways of querying an SQL database (Actions, ESQL, and SQL Transforms), and at least four ways of dealing with forms (Actions+Logicsheets/Transforms, XMLForm, Woody, and Precept). There is some overlap between these components. Too many choices makes the learning curve steeper. -- June 2003 -- [Larry Lansing] ? - + * There are three major ways of querying an SQL database (Actions, ESQL, and SQL Transforms), and at least four ways of dealing with forms (Actions+Logicsheets/Transforms, XMLForm, Woody, and Precept).
