I am from India, I have been part of functional work: business role from quite a long time. Basically I am an Engineer by qualification. But I wanted to learn one or the other webframework. I did few Internet search and found few. Many are well establish and few are upcoming and some are really doing great business. Such as Ruby on Rails, Django and even Web2py.
My question is, in India basically most of the companies depends on outsourced projects and companies hire only based on the trend. Even though people these days here are feebly inclining to learn Django and RoR , its only because of the present market conditions which looks bright for RoR and Django. And only since there is huge demand for quick web app required which can be performed. And ironically, when it comes to hire people, it jumps up the requirement for people with more than 2 or 3 years of experience of either framework or Python or Ruby programming language. Which here most often looks stupid HR Practices. Ironically its true and feels annoying. But its happening in India from many years. I am hereby giving you two links which mostly Indian HR Community prefers to hire people. www.monsterindia.com and www.naukri.com. Kindly search the key terms for "Python", "Ruby", RoR", or "Django" or "Haskell" or "Web2py". You will know the showing results of it. I am sure you will find nill for "Web2py", few for Django and little bit more for RoR.And hardly anyone even know about Haskell, even if they know just like "Oh yes I heard of it". And even for these two well known frameworks desired requirement for Job looks highly knowledgeable for Python, Ruby and almost like Programming Guru. The requirement or the description of these looks as if, if person really had such qualities, I feel he/she couldn't have started his own venture isn't.. Now my main question is, what are the opportunities for Web2py among these well known frameworks and linking of RoR or Django in Asia/ India or near future. Since most of the web framework follows the similarities of other or reducing the coding abilities and hence a huge IDE are formed which basically developed by Java or other. I want to know the future aspects of Web2py. Will it be useful to someone to do business, will be different in Future or turn to be like dreamweaver or RoR or Django sort of another webframework. I want to learn this. And now in terms of business, what are the opportunities which Web2py surrounds. Regards, Rohit
