which frameworks to use -- what makes them better or worse?

Post by krraleigh »

Hi

I have never used a framework, and I would like to get started down that path.
I was wondering if anyone would care to comment on the popular or not so
popular ones that are being used.

I speak of cakephp, zend, etc..

What I am going to build is a simple reg, mail, admin interface for a childrens camp.
I need to register the campers and counselors. I need to create a check list to see
that all details of medical history, finger printing, and anything else that is needed
for camp has been taken care of. The mail will be a series of interfaces that kick
off the start of the process and then lead those responsible and involved with the
differing aspects of what RFKC is up to and what it's needs are. The mail will be
a great deal of form letters thanking contributors, counselors, and leadership while
also advising them of up coming events.

So has anyone built anything like this? Or would you recommend a framework for
building this application? Or would you avoid frameworks? If so why? I haven't been
at this for a very long so any experience that you have would be trully appreciated.

Thank You
Kevin
