I saw an interesting video re-presentation of Avi Bryant, which claims that the rail structure (MVC) (along with most others) is out of date. Here is the link: Rails Deprecated (but also everything else).
The following is a summary. So, if you were going to invest time in a new infrastructure / platform today, what would it be and why? I will throw out a couple of candidates for discussion. I am sure that I have many wonderful candidates.
- Cappuccio
- Spoutcore
- Coccoa / iOS
- Google / gwt
- Seaside
- Rails 3 (since Rails is not deprecated)
In the old days, you sent the form to some kind of URL and you returned the HTML code. These days you probably didn't get into submit, your URL probably didn't change, and what you received was probably JSON, but you never saw it because it appeared asynchronously in the background. Best practices for web applications are changing rapidly with new browser standards, sophisticated JavaScript libraries, and fast JavaScript implementations. Why is the web framework design still suitable since 2004? What can we do to adapt or rethink our approaches to building web applications?
