Ask HN: Which web framework for MVP?

1 points| alouanchi | 12 years ago

I want to build MVP asap. So what do you advice? I am considering RoR, Django and Play. But also be able to switch in case I have to do it in the next step. Thanks.

Are you familiar with any of the base languages of these frameworks? I would suggest the language you are most comfortable with.

If you are new to all of them, then build something very simple with each to compare.

But which has high/small learning curve, from your experience? I got knowledge in Java and Php. I am looking to scala but I don't know if it's worth.

I'd suggest going with node.js. Lot of libraries, large community. Fast and easy to get started You are going to have to learn javascript on the frontend anyway, might as well use it in the backend.

RoR. Lots of online docs and support, lots of gems and you focus on your task at hand.

Yeah, start from zero...

Just start with the framework you know the best or leanst to your more familiar culture.

Lavarel 2 for php, RoR for Ruby, Asp.Net MVC for Asp.Net, Flask for Python (i think), ...
