To get started, in my experience the fastest way is to use a language you already know. Ruby on Rails might be the fastest if you are familiar with Ruby, Django for Python, Catalyst for Perl, Zend for PHP, Lift for Scala.

I can keep listing the top frameworks for more languages, find something that interests you. Something that is interesting keeps you engaged.

I've used Django before, but I've never tried Zend.

I'm really keen on trying out node.js, have you heard much about Express? Might give that a shot, and if I hit a wall might switch.

If it's not a big project, I think you will be good with Express. I've never taken the time to get deep on it, but it seems like the default framework for Node projects, and is easy to use, especially compared to Django :)

Cool, I'm going through the tutorial guide thing right now. We're ramping up on some big Javascript projects right now for incidenttech and this might be a good chance to learn more about node :)

Django wasn't too bad, I would compare it to Cake, but then again it's been a while!
