The minimum needed to generate dynamic HTML is a string builder, not a fancy framework.&lt;p&gt;Frameworks exist for Software at Scale (TM). Big Corp has a revolving door of developers and they need cookie cutter tools that isolate the damage a &amp;quot;bad&amp;quot; developer can cause. If you&amp;#x27;re a solo developer or a small company, then this digital bureaucracy is unnecessary.</text><parent_chain><item><author>codingdave</author><text>The project itself seems fine, and clearly works for the author.&lt;p&gt;But I&amp;#x27;m never quite sure why people insist that you cannot do web dev the old school ways of HTML files with a little PHP or other scripting.

It was magical! And PHP made it even better; you could just throw in a little snippet of server-side code and you had a dynamic page.&lt;p&gt;Well, you can still very much do this. Sure, it&amp;#x27;s not bleeding edge, but large chunks of the web (even newer sites) still do it this way and rely on PHP or sinilar server side languages.</text><parent_chain><item><author>codingdave</author><text>The project itself seems fine, and clearly works for the author.&lt;p&gt;But I&amp;#x27;m never quite sure why people insist that you cannot do web dev the old school ways of HTML files with a little PHP or other scripting.
