Thanks tbsgadi. Those are very helpful. Are these easy to incorporate into a web app framework like Django?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm building a web application that will run in Chrome on Linux that only has a two-point touch screen interface. The web application will have pullable curtains (like Androids status curtain) and lots of dragging and dropping of icons. There will be multiple touchscreens that all stay in sync with each other. That is, at the end of a drag and drop action in the GUI on one screen, the result will be transmitted to other screens to update their GUI. I'll be running the web app full screen using Chrome's web app command line option<br />
<br />
My question is, do frameworks like Drupal and Django provide good touchscreen functionality as well as advanced canvas functionality? Would I be better off starting from a Node.js + Jquery + Hammer.js combination?

If building a touchscreen web app, what are suggested combinations of frameworks to use?

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

A web-based content management system (CMS) provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools that enables users with little knowledge or experience to create and manage website content. Most CMS systems use a content repository or a database to store page content, metadata, and other information assets, and a presentation component that displays the content to website visitors.

Web-Based CMS

An application server is a software framework that provides both facilities to create applications and a server environment to run them. Most application server frameworks contain a comprehensive service layer model, acting as a set of components accessible to the software developer through an API defined by the platform itself. For Web applications, these components are usually performed in the same running environment as their web server(s), and their main job is to support the construction of dynamic pages. However, many application servers target much more than just Web page generation: they implement services like clustering, fail-over, and load-balancing.

Application Servers

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.

Web Frameworks

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
