An Alternate Look at Platform Selection
Posted on July 24, 2007
Filed Under Open Source, web 2.0 |
It’s not often that you find such a remarkably well constructed discussion about making a platform selection that doesn’t actually have much to do with the technical aspects of the topic.
"While I’d love to make a recommendation for one of these sexier frameworks, ultimately I’m going to recommend PHP and WordPressMU in this particular case. I’ve talked about some of the strengths of Rails and Django and for somewhat peripheral issues I’ve discounted both (not to mention completely dismissed .NET for similar and worse issues). I’d like to talk about why I think building a social network application in WordPressMU and PHP makes sense and how I came to this conclusion, keeping in mind that you should be comparing this list primary against .NET’s offerings rather than the other two frameworks."
