And as usual, it's brilliant. I am generally annoyed by technology fan-boys, but each time they do a release i am amazed by how smart these guys are.

Thus my prefere...

Dave Ford's Programming Blog. Random thoughts about software development. Thursday, April 30, 2009. As a consultant and trainer, I have worked with web developers of every variety. Two things that I observe over and over again are:. 1 Many web developers are so entrenched in the stacks upon stacks of frameworks needed (or not needed) to build web apps that (to their detriment) they loose track of the fundamental concepts that underlie all web apps. Our Web frameworks must, by necessity, not. Our Web fram...
