Hi,

First of all - please don't be antagonized by the topic - I am just trying to get insights from experienced users.

I was hanging out on IRC and someone told me to look at Django + Python to set up websites. Then surfing on wikipedia I found loads of other Application Frameworks - Turbogears, Zope and so on .. (And that's just limiting myself to python) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_application_servers

So here's my question - with Django, Zope being so considerably easy to set-up (I think), how does it compare with JEE ? Is JEE more robust, and scalable ?

I don't know either of the technologies, so please compare as would for a n00b

Thanks

(Also, if this is the wrong place to post this, sorry .. Please move it to correct forum !)

Rohan,

I don't have any experience with any of the frameworks you mention. However, frameworks for Python and PHP are primarily deployed in small and personal web sites, and are rarely used by large enterprises.

The reasons for this are debatable, but the fact is that Java EE/J2EE are much more marketable skills with employers than Python and PHP.

David,

Well, django is used (and originally developed) by World Online / Lawrence.
But you're right, in most cases such "frameworks" are used on blogs and personal sites


The reasons for this are debatable, but the fact is that Java EE/J2EE are much more marketable skills with employers than Python and PHP.



And that reason is enough for me, because as a student I'd rather be a small fish in a big pond with JEE, and not the other way round
Thanks !

As a student you would be best server to learn an broad and theoretical background in computer science, not a specific applied language or technology.

Exposure to a broad range of concepts will aid you down the road.

No matter what job you take, you will have to be trained. The broader your net of learning, the quicker you will be to adapt.

the humble opinion of a CompSci bigot,

Ofcourse Bill I'm currently doing Electronics Engineering from Mumbai University .. (it's a Bachelors Degree, or Graduate Degree course)

But because I wish to pursue a carer in computers, I'm thinking of learning JEE
