I'm currently using and enjoying using the Flex MVC framework PureMVC. I have heard some good things about Cairngorm, which is supported by Adobe and has first-to-market momentum. And there is a new player called Mate, which has a good deal of buzz. Has anyone tried two or three of these frameworks and formed an opinion? Thanks! ...
I seem right now to be embroiled in a debate with another programmer on this project who thinks that views have no merits. He proposes a system that PHP looks something like this: $draw = new Draw; $nav = $draw->wideHeaderBox(). $draw->left(). $draw->image(). Image::get($image,60,array('id'=>'header_image')). $draw->imageE...

As someone with some winforms and client applications experience - is it worth going back and learning the way traditional ASP .NET pages work, or is it okay with moving straight into ASP .NET MVC? I'm kind of looking for pitfalls or traps in my knowledge of general C#, that I won't know from the screencast series and things on the ASP ...
I know you can use several different view engines with ASP.NET MVC: ASPX, obviously NVelocity Brail NHaml et al...

Not entirely sure what's going on here; any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to create a new .NET MVC web app. I was pretty sure I had it set up correctly, but I'm getting the following error: The type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage' is ambiguous: it could come from assembly 'C:\MyProject\bin\System.Web.Mvc.DLL' or from assembly 'C:\M...
There are many ASP.MVC blog post bits and pieces scattered over different web sites, as well as couple of resource questions here - ASP.NET Model-view-controller (MVC) - where do I start from? and MVC Learning Resources I wonder if there was a one-stop tutorial posted yet on getting started with ASP.NET MVC? Thank you! Edit: I probabl...
ASP.NET MVC seems to be making a pretty big entrance. Can anyone summarise how its MVC implementation stacks up against popular MVC frameworks for other languages? (I'm thinking specifically of Rails and Zend Framework, though there are obviously lots.) Observations on learning curve, common terminology, ease of use and feelgood facto...
I'm working with my ASP.NET development team to try and create "better" (i.e. cleaner) HTML when rendering pages. At the moment, .NET has a nasty tendency to do things like dump JavaScript into the page, making it a mandatory requirement on form controls and not allowing forms to work when JS isn't available. In some instances, we're s...

As I try to apply this to the UI using ...

I really don't like mixing PHP and HTML. Mixing them makes it difficult to maintain both the PHP and the HTML, and it just makes sense to keep the two apart. See also the question on whether PHP is a good enough templating system on its own. What's the best way to do it? ...

I know there are a ton of Python frameworks out there. Can you guys point me in the right direction? My primary concern is simplicity, I don't need a lot of extraneous features.
