Which base to build on?

18 Dec

The Business Club’s web system, which is being planned, must be up and running by the next semester. The choice of programming language and framework is now a big question. I am considering the followings:

1. CakePHP/PHP
2. Struts/Java
3. Ruby on Rails/Ruby

Whereas RoR can help building the system in shortest amount of time, J2EE offers highest flexibility, security as well as maintainability. The CakePHP framework is somewhere in the middle and is supported by most web hosting services at lowest cost.

What a dilemma!

EDIT: 2008-12-19 I think I will to build a working website with RoR, which should not takes me more than 3 days, then port to J2EE. The RoR website must be ready before the end of this semester so I can work with Ha on the Java one during the semester break. I know there is a book on RoR development at RMIT ILC which is good for my review.

    My baby, I am not as good at IT as you and I do not know what you are talking about. I wonder Ruby on Rails, Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition and Hypertext Preprocessor mean? However, in my opinion, you should build the website on PHP system because it is supported in most community. Request a few hundred dollars from Business Club and do the best. Hope you will build the better website than some stupid IT people before ;) ) Remember to let me test it first. Love you!

    Every option has its own pros and cons. The system also needs to be good enough for further development. I don’t think the hosting cost will matter much.

    I am not IT expert and my ability is nearly zero but I like PHP because many people can help me when I have troubles as they also use it :D However, do the best thing you want and I really think it will be fine :)
