This was a fast-paced session, so I’m just going to summarize the frameworks discussed with links so I can research more at a later date.
- Symfony has tutorials to get you going. Can be installed with PEAR. Free books.
- seaside is a very different kind of language. Squeak/Smalltalk
- Sinatra is a ruby-based framework require Sinatra, read the readme.
- rails is a ruby-based framework. it has the little red book, fast to get up and going.
- zope is a framework for frameworks, hard to decide which framework to go with. poor documentation is improving.
