Ok, this is not a battle, it’s just a little workout for myself and Nokrev to compare frameworks we like, but anyone is welcome to join in and see how their systems hold up, there will be no vote unless the populous demands it, it’s a comparison and should become a handy little resource for the forums, expect lots of buzzwords.
The idea is to take your weapon of choice (RoR, Django, PHP, ASP whatever) and create a simple application to a spec, the app spec is not to be deviated from otherwise the comparison becomes useless.
The spec.
The application allows users to view a list, edit an item on that list or add an item to the list and rate it, simple, if your used to working on frameworks or languages on a daily basis this is a few hours work at most, and will be an excellent workout.
The data to be used in the system is as follows.
Item
- id (int)
- title (vc)
- description (text)
- rating (int)
The map is here (link)
The application does not have to look pretty, just perform the task, but it would be nice if you could demonstrate how you would skin it, but not essential.
The data entered on the form must have basic validation and be sanitized.
I should have mine up tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest (Im away all weekend), I’ll post a link to the source and the working application, there is no time limit, but it’s an easy task, the faster it’s completed will also demonstrate the flexibility of your method.
If anything is not clear let me know, I threw this spec together in 10 minutes.
Ray.
