Re: need advice for simple web development tools

Hey Michael,

If you are new to development and would like a very simple setup, I would
suggest one of the php frameworks such as cakePHP or Symphony. With these
you should be able to scaffold up a very basic application within the hour,
which is the same for ROR and djangoproject(python).

I have been developing for a long time and still always fall back to php
with a framework, for its sheer simplicity of setup, deployment, hosting
and scaling. CakePHP 3x has some good introduction tutorials as well.

http://cakephp.org/

Obviously this is personal opinion, but the fact that our interns can
learn, develop and push out 'heavily" used app apps in a very short
timeframe, makes me think its not too bad ;).

Steve also raises a good point, that if you are just setting up websites
then Wordpress/Durupal or Joomla which could be used with no coding
required, and more flexibility on the client end.
