Question

We hear a lot about frameworks like Django, ROR and CodeIgniter in Python, ruby and PHP respectively, all of them represents the MVC paradigm, is there other paradigm different than MVC represented with a framework?, what’s the framework name, the paradigm and the differences?

Answer 1

First of all neither RoR nor CodeIgniter is implementing MVC. They are using MVP pattern .. and are pretty bad at it too ( here is a small comment about how they are different ).

Alternative paradigms are:

• event driven programming
• data, context and interaction or DCI

… and there is n-Tier, but i am pretty clueless about where it stands in the pecking order.
