Robert, What you write is true in the sense that you gain as much efficiency as the author(s) of a framework had at expressing whatever design or architecture they had in mind. If you choose a poor design / architecture and implement that into a framework, even if the framework is written really well, you still end up with a relatively poor tool. So if I go about creating a MVC framework with an imperfect understanding of the design pattern or an imperfect understanding of the problem I am only going to be able to create a solution that solves my imperfect understanding of the problem. This is important to keep in mind. Frameworks are no silver bullet. I don't mean to make like they are.
Making good, reliable and cost effective software is extremely hard. Frameworks can really help a lot. Jeremy Robert Reil wrote: > > Jeremy: > > EXCELLENT job!
