Summary:Before selecting your next project's Web development tool, you
need to know which functions the tool must perform and which tool can
best accomplish those functions. The article might not settle dogmatic
developer arguments, but it offers objectivity and technical detail to
help you assess the strengths, weaknesses, and appropriateness of some
popular Web development tools. Selecting the right tool for Web
development projects is becoming more important as enterprises move from
static Web sites to more sophisticated interactive, secure,
database-backed Web sites. The need to develop and deploy new Web
applications in Internet time feeds the need to select the right tool
for the project. In writing the article, each of the authors, as Web
developers, began by picking their favorite tool and presenting its
strengths and weaknesses. The tools presented were: Dreamweaver; Active
Server Pages (ASP); Domino; Practical Extraction and Report Language
(Perl). Then they challenged one another's lists of strengths and
weaknesses. The sessions were sometimes passionate, but the authors
managed to keep the discussions collegial and objective. The article
reflects the best from those sessions
