The shell of a web app/website can be built with white background on black text without any viewing library at first, right? So, would it make sense for a beginner to just pick one of the few frameworks you listed above Note+Express/Laravel/Django/etc. and just get to work on what it means to have a CRUD? I feel like most tutorials always complicated things by trying to add too much at once -- to a fault, I've never…

The core WordPress software is amazing. The plugin developers and community are another story. I've had cases where WordPress plugins have unlisted dependencies, bundled plugins that completely alter the WordPress Dashboard, build systems that go against established WordPress software patterns, etc etc etc. The majority of the community seems to be fine with this as they treat it like self-hosted Squarespace (set it,…

Last time I tried developing for WordPress I gave up in frustration. What an incomprehensible mess of spaghetti code.

PLEASE READ!!!! Hello Guys,This is a Life Time transformation !!!Am so happy I got mine from Kelvin Roland. My blank ATM card can withdraw $3,300 daily. I got it from him last week and now I have $16,500 for free for just a week. The blank ATM CARD withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on. I am really happy i met Kelvin Roland because i met two people before him and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Kelvin Roland sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from him now he is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card, he is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. i'm grateful to Kelvin Roland because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries except Philippines and Mali. Kelvin Roland email address is kelvinroland.blankatm@outlook.com!

A similar question was asked just 3 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15685905 For full stack opinionated frameworks, there are a few like Laravel (PHP), Django (Python), Rails (Ruby), Phoenix (Elixir). They all come with batteries included for the most part. Then there is node/expressjs ecosystem if you are into that. Then you have micro backend frameworks like lumen (PHP), Flask (Python), Sinatra (Ruby…

This is a great list, I don't think you missed any that a classic shop would use.

Rails, without a doubt. Don’t waste your time on Django and all the Node stuff is just a mountain of distractions.

(I’ve been doing this for over a decade. At one point I was a Django zealot and avoided Rails like the plague. Boy was I wrong)

It really depends on what you already know and your level of interest in learning something new.

I can still crank out a pretty neat Web App in Code Igniter over lunch!

But, nowadays, I use Meteor which makes things very efficient while making an old hag look cool too :-) (Meteor allows you to leverage the great work available in the node community quite seamlessly)

Can you explain why a python developer should make the switch to rails for web apps?

The difference between Django and rails is pretty small from my oberservation. They have similar ease of use and performance characteristics.
