Comparative Study

I've done a small comparative study of web frameworks at http://www.accursoft.co.uk/WAF/

My Seaside experience is extremely limited, so I may have got something severely wrong. Would anyone care to take a look?

Hey, you might want to rename PHP to Zend Framework because PHP is a language and not a web framework.  If you want to find more information about the Zend Framework, I would recommend going

I would say that tasks encapsulate cross page control flow rather than
workflow (a control flow that spans over several .xsp pages). But that
is just a matter of terminology. You use workflow in other places so
it's better to be consistent.

Deployment
You can also deploy an image. Seaside doesn't come with it's own
deployment tools or rules, so all the Smalltalk deployment options
apply here.

Goodie
I would not use the word Goodie. I'd use file out, ".st file" or something else.

Monticello works only on Squeak and Gemstone. Cincom Smalltalk has
other options.

Seaside Server
Kom HTTP Server is only one option. It is a very popular server on
Squeak. There are other options and other Smalltalk implementations
use other servers.

Cheers

I outsourced the job :-)

Seriously, I'm more interested in different approaches than just the popular ones. I'm also looking at support for
stateful applications, not yet another REST framework with packaged libraries.

Ultimately, it's a matter of limited time, which frameworks interested me most, and which I would learn the most from.
(Of the hundreds of frameworks I didn't look at, Zope, Lift and ErlyWeb would have been at the top of list if I was
going to do one more.)

BTW, if this was a popularity study, Smalltalk wouldn't have got a peek :-)
