Why Choose Plone over J2EE, Ruby on Rails, TurboGears, JBoss,or django? (LinuxMedNews)

LinuxMedNews takes note of a new webcast on choosing a web content management platform. "Here is a 40 minute Quicktime webcast that is an entertaining, practical side by side comparison of 5 popular development environments with the conclusion that ZOPE-based Plone is the best for web development. Some of the metrics are: 225 minutes for a J2EE web application versus about 10 minutes for a web application in Plone that is more functional than the J2EE one. They also like Rails and Django some but the winner is Plone."

Why demonstrate free software with patent-encumbered codecs?

Posted May 25, 2006 22:08 UTC (Thu) by bignose (subscriber, #40) [Link]

Yawn. Yet another demonstration video of free software, that can only be viewed with non-free software for patent-encumbered codecs.

Web developers who demand that their development tools produce open, accessible, standards-compliant output are nevertheless happy to produce demonstration videos in proprietary, vendor-locked formats. The cluebat will never need to be put back on the shelf, it seems.
