Vergleich von CakePHP und symfony

isolani vergleicht die PHP Frameworks CakePHP und symfony.

Simply, symfony did what I expected, and it seemed to know what Model helper methods I would need. It certainly is more complicated than Cake, but the complications are, for me, well worth it.

I’m left with the feeling that Cake does the simple things very very well, and the difficult things are not obvious. With symfony, the simple things are a little more complicated, but that makes the difficult things much easier and logical.

Vielleicht sollte ich mir doch noch mal die Zeit nehmen und mich mehr mit symfony beschäftigen. Der Kritik, dass die Lösung schwieriger Dinge bei Cake häufig nicht offensichtlich ist würde ich mich anschliessen - allerdings sind meine letzten Versuche mit Cake auch schon eine Weile her und wirklich tief bin ich auch nie eingestiegen, denn die einfachen Dinge sind mit Cake wirklich einfach!

FireSymfony

Für symfony Entwickler sicherlich spannend: FireSymfony, eine FireBug Extension für Symfony.

Refactoring a Symfony Project

Fabien Potencier beschreibt in 5 Teilen eine Refactoring Session eines Symfony Projektes.

Some time ago, Vince, a seasoned PHP developer, asked me to have a look at his very first symfony project, a product store.

His customer was pretty happy as the website works well. Vince was also satisfied as he delivered the website on time. But he was not very confident about the quality of his code.

So, he sent me the code to have some feedback about its quality. Instead of replying by e-mail, I decided to invite him at Sensio Labs to work on a live refactoring session.

As the mistakes he did were quite common, I decided to tell you the story of this refactoring session in the hope you will learn as much as Vince did.

Symfony Forms Book

Stefan Koopmanschap über Symfony 1.1.

The old symfony form handling has been taken out, and replaced by a new form framework. This form framework can do anything from form building to form validation, and with the Propel integration it can even save the data directly to the database (after you validate it of course!). The new form framework is really extensive, extensive enough for the symfony team to decide to write a full book on it.

Ja, Symfony wollte ich auch noch mal wieder ausprobieren, da hat sich anscheinend ‘ne Menge getan.

PHP frameworks, Part 5

Der 5te Teil der developerworks Serie über PHP frameworks ist da.

Part 5 deals with working outside the frameworks. A single task is identified (nightly update script), and the process for accomplishing this task is examined in each framework.
