Framework is a development platform which generally contains tools, libraries and architectures etc. So you can't say Wordpress is a development platform. Wordpress is just a CMS, nothing more.

> The problem is to always tell beginners (or let them think this is a good idea) to start with a framework / cms because “you shouldn’t reinvent the wheel”.

Learning a CMS and Framework are not same. Learning CMS is user stuff, but learning a framework is a developer stuff.

> When they should use a framework:

> When they need security features (login, session management, etc.). It’s often a bad idea for beginners (and even experts) to write code related to those areas and use it in a live application. But you still should know the language basics.

You can't provide security by learning a language basics. You should read books, articles about web security (independent to the language)

> 1. Customization can be difficult in complex code.

Your example is not a framework.

> 2. Debugging is usually more difficult when using frameworks.

> Frameworks are good at throwing unreadable meaningless errors.

Are you sure you have used a framework before ?

tl;dr Framework and CMS (or portal) are not same stuff.


Well, the goal of the post was to also demonstrate that frameworks, libraries and web development platforms are often called "Frameworks", which they are not.



Thanks cangelis! It's not really clear (or I'm a lousy reader) wether it displays the information while the call is incoming or only when you've picked up (or missed) the call. If it's the former, I'm glad to hear that it's possible for iOS too!
