What I need? Framework or CMS?
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2010 4:55 am
Hi Guys,
I am not quite sure what is the best for me, which is why I am trying to find out (1) What do I need: Framework or CMS? (2) Which one?
Now, I am a PHP developer and recently got engaged in a major project. The development part is yet to start, and in the meanwhile I am trying to get some answers on how to setup the dev environment. Now, while I understand that a Framework is basically used to setup the architecture of the application while the CMS is used to control the content, I have not practically worked on them. So, I need your thoughts.
1.) I need to be able to able to develop and deploy the modules quickly.
2.) I will be developing the modules myself, of course. While, the CMS will give me lots of modules but do I really need them? I mean wouldn't they be an overhead for me to manage those non-required modules? I will have to disable them etc etc?
I hope I make some sense here. I am not sure what else should I be telling here. So, shoot your questions if you need to know more. I will be looking forward to hear your thoughts and helping me in deciding what I need and which one I need.
Thanks.
