Symfony Framework Workshop, I’m invited!
A couple of weeks I got an invitation from Stefan Koopmanschap for a Symfony Framework workshop. Stefan Koopmanschap is a PHP developer, consultant and trainer and works at Unet. Besides that he is also the symfony Community Manager.
A Minimal PHP MVC framework
This evening I was reading a remarkable article of Rasmus Lerdorf on his blog. The article describes how to build a minimal mvc framework for your own application in php5. Earlier I was shocked by Rasmus his theories, but after reading more of his work I'm quit charmed towards his ideas.Rasmus has a very good theory, but on the other side I think that I don't have to reinvent the wheel again.

Symfony php framework (php5)
With this post I would like to pay your attention to a less familiair php(5) framework. It's called "Symfony" and is, like cakephp, also a competitor at the php framework market. ( Php frameworks are aimed to code less and create more. )
Based on the best practices of web development, thoroughly tried on several active websites, symfony aims to speed up the creation and maintenance of web applications, and to replace the repetitive coding tasks by power, control and pleasure.
Ruby on Rails or PHP?
De hype van Ruby on Rails begint ook in Nederland op te komen. Met het MVC model wordt volgens menigeen verwacht dat Ruby on Rails een geduchte concurrent van PHP gaat worden. Nu is er echter in de vorm van CakePHP ook een PHP implementatie van het RAD ( Rapid Application Development ) aanwezig (voor php dus).
