Hello,

 

This is my first post here! I`m a computer engineering with almost no 
formation in web Development. What I do know, is software 
engineering/architecture, Java and C/C++. I also have had some foundation 
in XHTML/CSS.

 

So, this said, a friend came to me asking to develop a Website similar to 
eBay/Amazon/etc., I know it`s a huge project, so i don’t want to develop it 
with SQL, PHP, HTML. I want to use some Modern technology... I`ve read 
about a few of them:

 

 

MVC -> facilitates the development of website by handling all those 
"complicated" language (SQL, PHP, HTML) and it`s connection automatically 
by the use of some language:

   - Java -> JSF 
   - Ruby -> RubyOnRails 
   - Python -> Django 

CMS -> facilitates the development of website by templates; in other words, 
it has many templates of many kinds of websites and those templates can be 
customized.

   - drupal 
   - joomla 

 

The project has six months to be developed, at least a first working 
prototype. In addition, there is going to be two or three programmers doing 
it in their free time.

 

I do know some of the strengths and weakness of each MVC/CMS.... the CMS is 
faster to develop, but it`s less customizable... From what I`ve heard of my 
friends project, it`s not a common website, it`ll provide a lot more than 
eBay/etc. So I`m afraid of using CMS.

 

Most of all, the project should be modular; in other words, it must be 
possible to add new tools to the website after its completion.

 

If anyone has something to add, suggest or ask, please feel free.

 

Thanks in advance.
