... and unfortunately for frameworks are very rarely small and simple.
Quite a few start out that way, but for whatever reason feature-creep sets in and soon your off to J2EE land.
If you start seeing more than one or two books covering a framework it's time to find a simpler one.
- antihero 15y agoI think microframeworks like Flask strike a really nice balance with this.
- jamesbritt 15y agoI like the idea of layered frameworks. For Ruby, there's Innate, a light-weight framework, and on top of that is built Ramaze, a more developed framework (though still comparatively light). Likewise there is Sinatra, and on top of that was built Padrino. And both Innate and Sinatra are built on top of Rack. So if you don't care for the direction or feel of a framework you can pop down the layers once or twice and build something you like without having to start completely from scratch.
