Abstract:

With application frameworks becoming more popular, I
evaluated two popular packages, and compared them to
decide what to recommend to our Computing Division developers;
namely Django (a framework in the Python programming language)
Zope (another framework, which significantly extends Python) and
Rails (a frame work in the Ruby programming language). I
found them to be roughly equivalent in functionality, and
thereby recommend Django for our usage because our developer
base is much more familiar with Python then Ruby.
