Naukri Dhoondo »

I am currently working on Naukridhoondo.com, an Indian job search portal. Its objective is to search all other indian job search sites and show the results on one single page. This should make it easy for job seekers to search for matching jobs from a single location. For example, if you want to search for “Java Programmer”, naukridhoondo.com will show results (just count) from naukri.com, monsterindia.com and other sites. When the user clicks on the result counts, they will be directed to the source site (naukri, monster etc).

I am now wondering if I should just stick with Code Igniter or try Symphony. (I believe CakePHP is very close/ similar to Code Igniter. Symphony seems very feature rich, but looks quite complicated to get in. CI was a breeze to start with. Most probably, I will just stick with Code Igniter and Yahoo UI.

If you have heard of RIA, you must have heard of

• Adobe Flex
• Open Laszlo
• Java Fx
• SilverLight

I wanted something simple and easy to adapt. I also did not want to change my LAMP hosting platform. That left me with Adobe Flex and Open Laszlo. There are so many comparisons out there between the two, but the most important of them all is that Open Laszlo requires a Servlet Container (like tomcat), whereas Flex does not need it. In the next few days (hopefully not weeks), I am going to play around with Flex and share my thoughts on it. Since I am not ready to spend money on Flex Builder, I will just use the SDK and see how it works. I am quite interested to see if I can still continue to use the Model and Controller of Code Igniter and just change the View to Flex!
