Go for Zend framework or Django for a modular web application?
- by dr. squid
I am using both Zend framework and Django, and they both have they strengths and weakness, but they are both good framworks in their own way.
I do want to create a highly modular web application, like this example:
modules:
Admin
cms
articles
sections
...
...
...
I also want all modules to be self contained with all confid and template files.
I have been looking into a way to solve this is zend the last days, but adding one omer level to the module setup doesn't feel right. I am sure this could be done, but should I? I have also included Doctrine to my zend application that could give me even more problems in my module setup!
When we are talking about Django this is easy to implement (Easy as in concept, not in implementation time or whatever) and a great way to create web apps. But one of the downsides of Django is the web hosing part. There are some web hosts offering Django support, but not that many..
So then I guess the question is what have the most value; rapid modular development versus hosting options!
Well, comments are welcome!
Thanks
