Looks like it is a CRM software that you guys want to build. Have you considered off-the-shelf CRM solutions? Nothing stops you from building everything from scratch though, if you've a justified pros and cons that favor reinventing the wheel. There is no silver bullet in the choice of web frameworks. The factors that you should consider are a. do I have developers with the right experience. b. will my customers spend X amount of money on hardware/software. c. does the framework lets me write clean, testable code without getting in my way. Here's a list of frameworks that support MVC model really well and lets you do TDD & have good test coverage: Play, Spring MVC, ASP.Net MVC (its open sourced and you can deploy the website in linux-apache-mysql-mono stack), Struts 2, Rails 3, Django, Grails. (And the list is huge, I've listed only the 'popular' ones) > > Thanks. > > Shaahul Hameed > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
