PHP Frameworks

0 Spot It!

Today I heard an interesting podcast from the guys of PHPSP and during the whole podcast they brought 2 interesting points:

  1. Every developer should participate on a PHP Open Source project so he can not only learn new techniques but also improve his techniques
  2. Zend Framework is definitely not for beginners.
Talking about frameworks is hard and there are a lot to consider and there is even a lot more that can be overlooked, therefore there are a few things that must be considered:
  • MVC
  • it can jumpstart a project and seriously: time is money
  • performance is important and even if the you can’t achieve with the framework, you can achieve it with hardware
  • when choosing a framework, consider age, documentation and online collaboration
  • frameworks are supposed to be a “lego board” where you build things on, in another words, a place where you don’t need to re-invent the wheel
Don’t forget to consider looking into other frameworks. There is always something new, something that you can use on a given project or even use the concept on a new one.
Have fun.
