Hi All, A friend of mine who owns a design company in sydney is looking at getting deeper into the value chain.
It is currently a small startup firm (just grew from 3-7 in the last 4 weeks though) - and they use a lot of wordpress for putting up sites. He is interested in moving up the value chain into a little bit of development... most design jobs he has done are in the $0-10k range, but is also interested in taking on development work in the $10-$30k range, so it's not building your next site that will get a billion visitors, but sites with some custom functionality and reasonable usership! There is some PHP knowledge inhouse as a result of the use of wordpress. He asked me for recommendations on what he should use as a framework to start some development - and i said i'd ask the startup community on what they are using and what is popular... so here goes... *What frameworks are people using out there? and maybe a one line pro/con? * I'm from the perl era, and would have ordinarily recommended perl / mod_perl / postgres / Template Toolkit and the likes, but that's my bias based on familiarity... i'm sure there are easier more rapid development frameworks out there (perhaps some ruby on rails?) Love to hear from you on what you use, what you would recommend and how you find it? simran. ps: traditionally i am personally biased against PHP/ASP type stuff because it makes it "too easy" to mix business and presentation logic! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
