Thanks John, One of our coders recommended that we should up our game, so to speak--get a framework. What we do now is use javascript for web apps communicating with our ILS (Voyager). We use perl, python, and php for data extraction and parsing between multiple systems--usually marc records, but also patron and transactional records. Presently we use coldfusion for a great deal of reporting, put we would like to move to d3.js. We are talking about web applications--not desktop. /Ray -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Scancella, John Sent: Monday, April 06, 2015 12:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Question about choice of frameworks for JavaScript, Perl and python Ray, We all have to start somewhere, so do not get discouraged we are here to help! Like I mentioned before, if we know what problem you are trying to solve we can more easily point you in the right direction. Let's start with why choose javascript, perl, and or python? What made you choose those? Is this a web application or a desktop application? Will it talking to other applications? What operating systems will it need to run on? Once you answer those perhaps we can ask more targeted questions and be better able to help you. I would also recommend the great website stackoverflow.com. They hold a vast amount of knowledge when it comes to all things development related.

We could probably better answer which ones to look at if you gave us some more information, like what specifically are you trying to do with these frameworks/technologies?

Since we are new to this technology, I would like to know which frameworks do you use/recommend and why? We did get a recommendation for zend/php. Thanks for any assistance. /Ray Ray Schwartz Systems Specialist Librarian [log in to unmask]<blocked::mailto:[log in to unmask]> David and Lorraine Cheng Library Tel: +1 973 720-3192 William Paterson University Fax: +1 973 720-2585 300 Pompton Road Mobile: +1 201 424-4491 Wayne, NJ 07470-2103 USA http://nova.wpunj.edu/schwartzr2/<http://euphrates.wpunj.edu/faculty/schwartzr2/>
