Ask HN: What framework is best for someone with a C++ background?

2 points by lsc ↗ HN
So, for a person with a strong C++ background, what webapp development framework/language is likely to be the easiest to learn and use? And then, what are the 3 best books to introduce that framework to someone who doesn't know the language, but does have a strong C++ background?

If your C++ fu is really, really strong, you might wanna check out OKWS (http://www.okws.org/). The performance is sick, as you might expect, but I can tell you from experience that it's not for the faint of heart. The asychronous coding makes for some really tough debugging situations, among other things.

Nice! hm. and Python support means that even those without as much C++ foo can contribute. I will check it out.

I read about this a few years ago but didn't know the source had been released. Thanks for the link.
