Frameworks

After careful research and consideration I am going to use Drupal as my full stack framework with Bootstrap for the web layer.  I read lots of recommendations for Bootstrap.  The reviews said Drupal was easier to get going than Django.  Eventually I expect I will shift the web app to Python (Django), but I'd rather just get going at this point.  Hence the decision to go with Drupal (PHP) for now.  Looks like Django can also interface with Bootstrap so I'm thinking the shift will not be that bad if/when I get to that point.  On the other side I decided to use opencpu to interface with R.  Again, I'm hoping this will facilitate any eventual shift to Python/Django since opencpu is a framework agnostic API.  I will also install rApache just for good measure, but I don't currently plan to do any R scripting with PHP/Drupal.
