Oh yeah, buzzwords. I wanted to give my two cents on the “new web.”
I like.
Seriously, there are all these amazing new frameworks coming out, all with great user-bases and support. The only language I’m really waiting on is PHP. I could roll my own, but then I wouldn’t get the help of having a whole community behind my project. When Ruby on Rails gets a cool new feature, I get it too. When I write one (one day), everyone will get to benefit. Open source is pretty slick. Besides RoR, there are plenty of frameworks, all of which I’ve checked out, but I think I’m going to stick with RoR, I especially like its integration with the Prototype javascript library.
Ruby:
Rails
Python:
TurboGears
django
PHP:
CakePHP
Mojavi
WACT
Almost all of these frameworks are Model View Controller, which seems to be the preferred pattern for web applications. No need to re-invent the wheel, go with the proven method. Please comment if you know of any other frameworks, I’m always on the look out for good stuff.
