Quick Post: Django vs Grails
Coming from the Django world, I can already see big similarities. They both provide database abstraction for example, they allow the developer to essentially create a database and minimize the amount of SQL code needed. From what I can tell, the two are very similar, and this does excite me. Also makes me feel at home with Grails.
My temptation however is to compare these frameworks back to PHP, which is a largely unfair comparison. Therefore, I will leave that discussion for another day.
After downloading Grails, my first impression was installation should be the easiest part of imparting on new framework, with Django, it requires issuing setup and Django takes it away configuring and installing the necessary items. However, Grails requires a bit more manipulation to get it going. I found a good resource and should be on my way. More details as I get further into Grails.

Recently I got an introduction to frameworks. Although there a several hundred different types each offering a different set of features and abilities I focused on one the more popular PHP Frameworks.
Here is a list of PHP Frameworks. The list is astonishing. The most popular frameworks are CakePHP, Zend, and Code Igniter.
The people developing CakePHP have created a very through framework that allows easy database access. CakePHP is uses a Ruby on Rails convention, of several folders that break apart the code for pages. This can be extremely confusing for the beginner. After working with the system you quickly understand the purpose.
In future posts I will explain CakePHP development further. CakePHP has a well developed base of people to help program with the framework.
Have I missed your favorite framework?
