I've been searching SO for ideas and suggestions on what best to use for prototyping a web app (see related question section).
I have 3 weeks to created a prototype to demo. All functionality is specified. The UI is not but this is not required for the demo.
In the past I have built highly bespoke solution in Perl and/or PHP, using JavaScript (JQuery et al. for UI).
This time my team will be significantly larger so an "off the shelf" framework would be preferable. It will also need to run on Cent OS 5.
I want something that handles:
- Registration
- Login / out
- Navigation
- DB access
But with enough flexibility so I won't have to hack it too much. In addition the learning curve needs to be as shallow as possible, I can only devote 1 week at most learning the basics.
I will consider all ideas and suggestions and document the process here.
