The reason is many non-techie/business people came up to me wanting to build a startup but not knowing where to start from in this wilderness of web framework space. Please give suggestions and feedbacks on where I can improve this blog entry. The audience is of course business people with no programming experience that want to have a startup.
A nice writeup mate. Il second Ryan in that RoR and CakePHP would
deserve a worthy mention. Personally I have no experience with either of
these, apart from the usual Hello World apps after which I decided to switch
to django - only because I liked python more!.. and have to add that in
hindsight it was a pretty good choice. The only regret is not paying closer
attention to lisp and haskell based web frameworks...

but I can't see many scenarios where a web 2.0/startup is going to
benifit from a heavy weight framework/CMS like Plone or CMS. They tend
to favour speed and very custom UI's over out of the box features.

Nice one dude. Was just going through the tutorial samples. Loved how
they did the xmlrpc_view as decorators. I remember doing a similar thing in
django so that I only ever returned a tuple of (dictionary, template_html)
so that encompassing decorator would look at either the Accept header or the
"format" get parameter to wrap the tuple in json or xml or plain html.
But it is good to see this kind of thing is actually within the core
philosophy of bfg itself. One thing that I didnt pay too much attention was
does this (bfg) actually generate more "magic" files/plumbing for you (i
hear this is what RoR does, am i wrong?).
I would like to see a more indepth comparison of bfg with Django (and Plone)
to get a better idea of what it is doing (especially since it claims to have
been built from the strengths of all of them).
