I have abandoned server side frameworks all together, with the exception of a REST toolkit now days if you are building a web application the client side toolkits coupled with a REST service layer offer a much more robust development platform as well as provides a more usable and better performing end product.

But would you recommend that approach for a beginner, or is it better to start with a framework so you don't have to think of everything, and evolve your understanding?

How did you decide on your approach?
