Hi All,
i am new to the web development environment, having came from a unix/c environment.
i've been recently asked to create a web app, which i thought would require postgresql,
java/j2ee, and javascript for the client interface. as i had wanted a nicer gui, i've
been reading up on extjs, which looks really nice to me.
a colleague mentioned that the time needed time needed to learn all these various
pieces is time consuming, and Jdeveloper seems to provide most of what we'd need
(i was shown a demo, which appears to be able to generate some nice web interfaces).
what are the pros and cons with the different approaches ?
some i can think of:
- jdeveloper is an integrated ide, which creates UI easily, tightly
integrated with database. (pro)
- jdeveloper will be heavier? (con)
- wizard generated code may be harder to refactor ? (con)
- java/j2ee/js+extjs needs to develop things from ground up (con)
thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and thoughts ...
