As others have mentioned Ruby on Rails is pretty amazing but I would like to point out Python. I have yet to use any of the frameworks but I've been reading up on Python in my spare time and I really like it (even better than Ruby ... but that is just how my brain works). I hope to experiment with the django framework very soon and there are several other frameworks to help with rapid development in Python.
I would also suggest looking into a PHP framework like Cake. -- Brandon Aaron On 11/22/06, Barry Nauta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To all, > > First of all: apologies for this non-jquery related question, but since there > are many experts in web-development on this list, I dare to ask it anyway. > > Our company is looking for a way for 'quick' web-development.
