Rails gets my vote, Although I haven’t used it in many production ready projects, the majority of my work has been J2EE. I am currently developing a project using Rails and so cant help being impressed with its approaches to common difficulties I encounter using J2EE. J2EE has a lot of frameworks to choose from, all with their pro's and con's, I tend to work solely with Spring and Hibernate and leave Struts/JSF etc well alone, The benefits I get from using Spring & Hibernate are immediately available in Rails without the need for lots of XML configurations or annotations in my classes. I'm looking forward to the day my experience with rails matches my Java experience as I know I'll be able to pump out some really good web apps in no time.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Rogers Sent: 03 October 2007 12:05 To: Peterborough LUG - No commercial posts Subject: [Peterboro] Web frameworks At the moment we don't use anything I'd class as a web framework. We have our own in house libraries which go some way towards that, and we use the likes of Joomla which is at the opposite end of the scale. All currently PHP. I've got some simple database projects to play with and I'm wondering if I should look at one of the standard frameworks instead, if for no other reason that to remove some of the reliance on me from the projects. So I'm looking for recommendations! I've looked at the websites of several PHP based frameworks, and to be honest most of them seem broken on one way or another, but hat's probably not a real indication of code quality, just the effort put into their own websites is lacking (and that's something I can relate to). The biggest problem is the sheer number of options. I also wonder about learning Ruby and going with Rails, something I know nothing about beyond having heard of it. Or there are other alternatives, no doubt. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro No virus found in this incoming message.
