Request for comments - Turbine Benefits

[Humberto Hernandez Torres <hh...@itweb.com.mx>]

I wanted to put togheter some information about which are the benefits of
using Turbine from the poing of view of a business person. This may help
developers convince their bosses on using Turbine. (Yes, Managers with no
programming knowledge still make these decisions. At least around here.) I
will appreciate your comments. Feel free to change anything.

Turbine Benefits:

- Simplifies the development of Web applications - By using the MVC model
the internal structure of the application is simpler. The consecuence of
this is that it reduces the number of errors, the application is easier to
test, and errors are easier to find. Thus, Using the framework reduces the
development time of the project.

- Establishes a common structure for all the applications - When there are
several developers it is very easy that every developer follows his own
method. The use of the framework allows you to promote an architecture that
is shared among all the developers. Thus, Any developer with experience in
the framework can modify any application developed with the framework.
Otherwise, a lot of time has to be employed understanding the basic
architecture of every application.

- It is easier to integrate several applications if they use the same
framework. It is also easier to integrate the work of several developers
working in the same application if they use the same framework.

- The design of the Turbine framework captures the experience of many
developers around the world. Its value has been proven in many projects.

Also - 

By using Turbine, you get the code to handle parsing URLs, enforcing
security, logging, scheduling, form validation, and many other system
level functionality for free.  These are normally areas that developers
would have to write for each application (or at least once per company).


The support from the user community should also be listed as a benefit.

A big one for me is that I could spend the time to write a form validator,
persistence layer and action processor, but it will take a long time before
they run as well as the pieces provided with Turbine.  Turbine saves a
business an enormous amount of time and money.

The support community for Turbine is also quite good, even for an open
source project.  Look at the turbine-user archives, there is better support
there than for most commercial products.
