Decisiones... cada dia....

Este texto me parecio un buen resumen de las decisiones que debemos enfrentar cuando desarrollamos aplicaciones Web J2EE (o Java EE). IMHO, tener el poder de decidir es bueno. Es uno de los pilares de la democracia y es una de las razones por las cuales prefiero el modelo open source a la dictadura de Microsof.

Yes, there seems to be nothing but choice when it comes to developing web applications.

To begin with, someone has to choose between ASPX, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, et al. Once you choose Java, then you have to choose a web container, such as Jetty, Tomcat, Resin, WebLogic, or WebSphere, to name a few. Of course, you also have to build the application that runs in the container, which is where choosing Apache Struts comes in. Then, most teams also use a data access framework. Choices there include Cayenne, iBATIS, Hibernate, JDO, Turbine, and OJB, to name a few.

(Right about now, Ruby's single-stack approach must be sounding pretty good!)

But, wait, there's more! You also have to choose an editor or IDE: Eclipse? IDEA? NetBeans? UltraEdit? Some other? (Many teams decide to use more than one!) And do we use Ant, Maven, or the IDE to build it all?

Lest we forget: Someone also needs to choose a database system (DB2? Derby? Oracle? PostGres? MySQL?), a version control system (CVS? Subversion? Perforce?), a development methodology (eXtreme Programming? RUP? Scrum? Waterfall?), and, if you're lucky, an issue tracker (Bugzilla? JIRA? Scarab?).

Welcome to the jungle!
