PHP Frameworks
Today I heard an interesting podcast from the guys of PHPSP and during the whole podcast they brought 2 interesting points:
- Every developer should participate on a PHP Open Source project so he can not only learn new techniques but also improve his techniques
- 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.
