ABSTRACT

Web application frameworks, or simply “web frameworks,” are the de facto way to build web-enabled applications. These are created to boost the performance and efficiency of web applications, web services, and web site development. Depending on the project type and programmer’s abilities, one may choose from a vast range of available web development frameworks. Django and Ruby on Rails are top choices for building modern web applications. This chapter is a primer to these two frameworks and intends to help you decide which framework to use.
