Interesting link. I've played with Symfony, and like what I see. I even own the Apress book. I'm certainly not saying Zend is better than framework X. My question is, will knowing it give you an edge in an interview for a PHP job v. something else? That I'm not so certain about. What is pretty clear is the PHP developers will use frameworks more extensively in the future to stay competitive with other languages used in Web development. What they use will is unknown. What they are using is observable. I would be happy, though, to see the market pick a definitive winner. --- 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 Yitzchak Schaffer Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 1:49 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] PHP Frameworks: An informal survey.

I found this post and comments to be of value: http://www.plentyofcode.com/2008/04/symfony-vs-zend-framework-vs-cakephp -vs.html FWIW I have been working with symfony (to the exclusion of other framewords) for... about a year now, I think? I'm very pleased, particularly with the amount of new functionality that's come with each of the major new releases (1.1 and 1.2) Cheers, -- Yitzchak Schaffer Systems Librarian Touro College Libraries 33 West 23rd Street New York, NY 10010 Tel (212) 463-0400 x5230 Fax (212) 627-3197 [log in to unmask] Email Disclaimer: http://www.co.marin.ca.us/nav/misc/EmailDisclaimer.cfm
