Have you used Sinatra successfully? What kind of a project was it? In what situations would you recommend using Sinatra instead of Rails or Merb? JW. I've dabbled with Sinatra, but haven't really written anything serious with it. As you said above, there's a list at http://www.sinatrarb.com/wild.html , although a lot of the applications listed there seem to link to GitHub pages, which I assume are often people experimenting with Sinatra and publishing their results online. Then, there's also the Sinatra mailing list , where you might find links to some interesting projects.[*] As for your

I am looking for a Web Framework to move windows based applications to the web. The main requirements to WF are the following: unit tests support desktop and mobile browsers support long term viability maturity of the framework In my opinion, with contributions from the SO community Zend Fraemwork for PHP Django for Python Rails for Ruby Merb for Ruby (for the experienced) ASP.NET MVC for .NET Seaside for Smalltalk Catalyst for Perl Dave Ward 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

What is the best common-lisp web framework available? I'm looking for something that's suitable for developing commercial web applications and capable of handling high traffic sites similar to Stack Overflow. It should also have built-in session handling and other similar features. My experience: KPAX is unmaintained, pretty low-level and not exactly well-documented UCW is quite hard to get into for beginners due to complexity and missing high-level documentation. SymbolicWeb is dead Use Hunchentoot directly if your needs are basic or highly specific Weblocks is relatively young but already

I want to develop a web app for my own personal use, that I can access from my phone and my computer. I thought I'd hone my Python skills on the way and write it using a simple python web framework. What hosts can I use to host my web app http://wiki.python.org/moin/FreeHosts http://wiki.python.org/moin/NonCommercialHosting http://wiki.python.org/moin/SpecializedCommercialHosts http://wiki.python.org/moin/OtherCommercialHosts Also a good read: http://www.goodwebhosting.info/article.py/15 And a last one: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2011/01/awesome-year-for-python-web-hosting.html In addition to

I found that I am confusing between web framework and web server. Apache is a web server. Tornado is a web server written in Python. Nginx is a web server written in C Zend is a web framework in php Flask/Bottle is a web framework in Python RoR is a web framework written in Ruby Express is a web framework written in JS under Node.JS Can we say node.js is a web server??? I am so confused between web server/ framework. If somehow node.js is kind of webserver, not webframework (Express does), why do we need to put the whole node.js on top of Nginx server in useful practice?? Question on SO Who

Python and Ruby are usually considered to be close cousins (though with quite different historical baggage) with similar expressiveness and power. But some have argued that the immense success of the Rails framework really has a great deal to do with the language it is built on: Ruby itself. So why would Ruby be more suitable for such a framework than Python? Yehuda Katz There are probably two major differences: Ruby has elegant, anonymous closures. Rails uses them to good effect. Here's an example: class WeblogController < ActionController::Base def index @posts = Post.find :all respond_to do

I'm currently developing a server side json interface where several temporary files are manipulating during requests. My current solution for cleaning up these files at the end of the request looks like this: @app.route("/method",methods=['POST']) def api_entry(): with ObjectThatCreatesTemporaryFiles() as object: object.createTemporaryFiles() return "blabalbal" In this case, the cleanup takes lace in object.__exit__() However in a few cases I need to return a temporary files to the client, in which case the code looks like this: @app.route("/method",methods=['POST']) def api_entry(): with

I'm looking for a Java web framework that requires the most minimal amount of configuration for a very small app. Spring & Struts are definitely overkill here. This is an app that could be written without any framework at all but I would prefer to use a minimal MVC framework if I can find one. Stripes and ZTemplates are supposed to be pretty light. joshua Checkout spark . Its as mimimalistic as it can get. Take a look on Apache Wicket . grails requires a minimal amount of config since most of it has sane defaults. I'd say that spring webmvc is pretty minimalistic and IMHO it's far from
