I've been using web2py for a couple of years now for an intranet site for our small department of about 20. Absolutely love its intuitive design, the built-in IDE, the ease of database interaction, basically everything about it. Massimo, you are brilliant!
Now, I've been tasked with building an intranet site for our entire division, a BI dashboard / portal for our Director to keep tabs on all his departments' performance, and to do his blogging, reporting, etc. Naturally, web2py would be my choice, but it has to be hosted on corporate web servers. Windows, SQL Server, and zero support for Python. :( I have no experience at all with M$ development, other than some VB6 years ago, so that's out. I've done PHP in the past, which is fully supported on these hosts, so have been looking at some of the PHP frameworks. CakePHP and Yii so far. All I can say is they just aren't as intuitive (to me anyway) as web2py. Where is the IDE? I guess I'll have to install PHP and a web server on my desktop and try to develop there, using some sort of PHP-specific editor? Unfortunately, corporate IT will immediately detect a web server on my desktop, and send me a nasty email to remove it immediately! Is there any PHP framework with the sort of built-in IDE that makes web2py such a productive environment?
