Web Frameworks - Part II
Building reusable code is all the rage today - after all, if we can build it once and reuse it over and over, we can build less and less over time. The whole short history of software development is an exploration of the layers of abstraction used to make building applications easier. Once you have a collection of pre-built generic parts, you have the beginnings of a framework. A framework is a set of related classes and other supporting elements that make application development easier by supplying pre-built parts. They provide the infrastructure for application development.
