Web Development is wrong?
With all the frameworks for web developing floating around today is very easy to make a web application or the next social thing in a weekend. Even they are things like this, also flames like this one, but the truth is the web development today fail, is fast but still fail.
The development process is expensive than hardware, so the development flaws tend to be solved dropping more hardware to the pile. That’s not the right way.
To get to a good web application many things must be in the right place, first you have to stick to standards, good practices and design patterns, you don’t need to reinvent the well once again.
I know, I’s the libraries stupid, but along with easy to use libraries you need some others tools like good IDE and a good debugger to solve the problems you get when your application is moving away from what your framework is designed for.
I miss my times of application development (for the desktop) at that times we got our IDE with all tools in the place, today we have to choose from Eclipse, Aptana, Zend Studio, Coda, Textmate, etc. And no one of these have all the features we need.
Is just me in this position or this things are a common place out there? What happen in the Enterprise development teams? I have nothing against the rapid web development but feel something missing with the web development today, some things have to change, or maybe not.
What are your thoughts about this matter, are using Ruby or PHP or Phyton or C++ or ASP.NET… what frameworks… what IDE… what tools… are you using design patterns in your applications, standards maybe?
