I interviewed at a company a while back that had four developers on staff that was using the Zend Framework coupled with the Yahoo! UI library. They seemed happy with their technology stack. I think their choice was driven mostly by corporate backing and name recognition of these two platforms. I have not used either personally. Also take a look at Symfony. I went to a meetup a while back, and was impressed by how this framework offered a complete technology stack while retaining modularity, so if you didn't like the default components, you could easily swap them for something else. This sort of framework modularization seems to work in the Java world, where a single application might integrate bits and pieces of Spring, Hibernate, Struts, etc. Personally, I prefer this paradigm to something like Rails (or Cake PHP, to put it in a PHP context), where you pretty have to do it one way - or else. At least that's been my perception playing with Rails and Cake PHP. Your mileage may vary, however. I don't know where Zend falls into this spectrum. - David --- David Cloutman <[log in to unmask]> Electronic Services Librarian Marin County Free Library -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Susan Teague Rector Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 1:51 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] PHP Frameworks Hi All, We're exploring Zend as a framework for php based Web applications. I'm curious to see if anyone out there is using this framework (or another MVC framework). Also, I wondering how many full-time developers you have on staff programming.
