No, a platform consists of everything below your application logic. Think hardware, i/o abstractions, etc.
A framework, on the other hand, assists in the development of an application, typically independent of the platform it runs on.
- Hexstream 18y agoThere are multiple possible definitions of "platform", it just happens that I use a more inclusive one while you use a more restrictive one. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_%28computing%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_%28computing%29: In computing, a platform describes some sort of hardware architecture or software framework (including application frameworks), that allows software to run. edit: Isn't a good part of a framework below your application logic?
