Poll: What Web Application Framework do you use?
34 comments
I have abandoned server side frameworks all together, with the exception of a REST toolkit now days if you are building a web application the client side toolkits coupled with a REST service layer offer a much more robust development platform as well as provides a more usable and better performing end product.
But would you recommend that approach for a beginner, or is it better to start with a framework so you don't have to think of everything, and evolve your understanding?
How did you decide on your approach?

Yes I would because it is where the web is heading. I would adopt Dojo + jQuery or backbone + jQuery and a REST layer. I personally use JAX-RS because I do a lot of enterprise apps and Java is entrenched there, but there are REST libs for most major platforms now.
Other (Perl and Catalyst or Web::Simple, depending on the project).
Mostly Catalyst - http://www.catalystframework.org/
PSS + Vinegar
Just kidding, that's not a webapp framework, but if I wrote one, that's what I'd call it.

Scala and Play. But really they are just a way to do some simple pages and provide a REST API
Other: Python Tornado
Zend Framework (1.x), and Symfony2
No Flex? (Does anyone use Flex?)
GluePHP/PropelORM/Savant3
Pyramid
Tornado (web.py)
Vaadin + Spring

Symfony
Lithium
Express
Pylons / Pyramid
Wicket
Groovy on Grails
Stripes
Lift
Compojure

and any number of other popular frameworks?
All of that said, my primary choice is Groovy on Grails, so I voted "other."
