I applied for a new contract, and the potential client asked me to show my skills in the framework they use, Symfony2. As it has been quite a while since I used PHP properly, I am somewhat rusty.
So imagine my delighted surprise, when I realised that Symfony2 has gone out there and stolen all the good parts of the frameworks they can find, mostly from Java.
- IOC and dependancy injection
- Routing with annotations
- Entities with annotations for ORM
- Controllers
- Templating
- Validation by config
- and good testing
Brilliant, basically nothing new for me to learn, just details about how they implement it.
All in all, a very productive day spent reading and implementing it.
I hated symfony1, it is probably why I quit using php.
My recommendation now... try Symfony2, especially if you are a java/spring/etc programmer.
I have found quite a few interesting bugs/problems, but those go in another post.
