Why Choose Plone over J2EE, Ruby on Rails, TurboGears, JBoss,or django?

Posted by Ignacio H. Valdes, MD, MS on Tuesday May 23, 2006 @ 04:31 PM
from the medical-open-source-development dept.
Medical software development is very difficult to do and pushes the limits of computer science and programming. Here is a 40 minute Quicktime webcast that is an entertaining, practical side by side comparison of 6 popular development environments by a Jet Propulsion Lab engineer. The conclusion is that ZOPE-based Plone is the best for web development. Some of the metrics are: 225 minutes for a J2EE web application versus about 10 minutes for a web application in Plone that is more functional than the J2EE one. He also likes Rails and Django but the winner is Plone. The webcast is a large download. I'm seeing if it is available in slide form. Disclaimer: Linux Medical News has run ZOPE since its inception in 2000. Digg this article

I do not think a comparison between Plone and J2EE is fair. Plone is a CMS, J2EE is a general purpose application server. You may try to compare J2EE with Zope with some more fairness; or alternatively Plone with Lenya or Forrest (from the Apache Foundation).

Anyways, the video is great and the speed and eficiency of Zope/Plone is clearly shown.

Too easy. It's like to say that with a lawnmower you can cut the grass more easily than with a 3.5hp engine and some metal still to be forged in the shape of a mower. By the way, the movie Author did not use an IDE for Java development.

Why choose Quicktime?

Why choose a format for your webcast that is locked up, like Quicktime and thus much harder for free software users to see?
