Database Centric Website Development - Dreamweaver Coldfusion

[PAH]

Pud from F***company did spec his infrastructure recently. Its a good read and not as daft as you would think (dropbox for deployment to test instances is brilliant and lazy).

Yii framework

Looking at the RAD comparison mentioned earlier, I found the following PHP framework called Yii

He's right on aws's micro instances as well. Its only when you throw databases and other resources onto the servers that they get stressed out so you can get brilliant load balanced throughput by using micro instances provided you keep databases out of the way.

Is the plan that the companies will install the software themselves and run it on their own servers.

If so you need to factor in what software do the companies currently use and support. Many clientcos may not accept a php solution as its against corporate policy while asp.net would be acceptable. Some will want a hosted solution in which case your decision to use Oracle may come back to haunt you.

Before deciding on the language you may want to do some market research.

If they have Oracle, why not use APEX, which is free with the DB?

[jeremytaxman]

The idea is that the back end database can be Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server etc .... the application shouldn't have licensed libraries ... the hosting can be intranet or internet ....

ScriptCase generates pure PHP which can be deployed to any PHP enabled web server, no scriptcase libraries to manage and thus no licences to buy. The database layer can connect to all common databases so can utilise whatever the customer has.

Its a proper 4GL ..... cheap given the productivity .... check out the video walkthrough on the link.
