What are the best MVC web frameworks on the market? [closed]

Answer 1

I heavily prefer CakePHP for PHP, Django for Python, Rails for Ruby.

In terms of front-end, if you're looking for a desktop-esque end user experience you should look into ExtJS or YUI.

Answer 2

For Python, I recommend Pylons (docs) (book)

Answer 3

For Java, I recommend the open source framework: (µ)Micro. The code is on Github and this is the web site containing the docs: http://micro-docs.simplegames.ca/, a work in progress.

I am the author of this framework and I welcome your feedback, thanks!

Answer 4

Honestly if you want an MVC framework for asp.net I would pick Castle Monorail. I think it is more mature then the current MVC framework from microsoft.

Answer 5

I've had surprising success using Drupal as a web app framework. It's highly extensible - pretty much every default behaviour can be overridden easily via modules, and it's a pretty blank slate to start with as well.

Drupal 7 has unit testing built-in, and earlier versions can do it easily via a plugin.

Answer 6

How about the ASP.NET MVC framework? It's what this site is running on.

Another more mature option is Castle MonoRail.

I think ASP.NET MVC is probably the best choice in the long run. A year from now, it will be far easier to hire someone who knows ASP.NET MVC than someone who knows MonoRail.
