Peter Never suggested the OP develop carts and such like from scratch really did I.
What I said was he should focus on learning the core APIs, that's a little different. Building your own business logic is a requirement whatever framework you use (or don't use). If you can tell me where to find reusable business logic then that will certainly save me time, I'd still want to know how it worked though so black boxes are useless. If, when you know the core you decide to rot your brain and spend frustrating days trying to configure some bloody minded framework then go for it, at least you'll have some idea where to look when it doesn't work (they NEVER work first time in my experience). Anyway OP, hope this little discussion has cleared things up for you :-)) Cheers Lyallex On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 2:48 PM, Peter Crowther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Lyallex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: Seeking advice as to what platform/framework to > > use for developing a tourism/tourist attractions web site > > > > > Greetings > > > > I guess given the lack of replies that most think this is too OT for > > this list, well I suppose it is but I couldn't resist answering. > > > > "Don't Do It" > > > > That is, don't use any framework at all. > > Many of the OP's requirements are for existing tools.
