Structure for Sanity
I have never really used a ready made framework before, have been on my way for a long time. After looking around quite a bit and playing around with the MVC examples from PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice By Matt Zandstra, I finally decided to go with the Zend Framework.
I’ve never been a big fan of frameworks, at the same time I’ve always been a big fan of structure, re-usability and separation. So, I kept my action in the back-end department, focusing on libs, web-services, automated processes and other things which doesn’t have a face. Things without faces aren’t cute, thus nobody ever cuddles with them; nobody loves them. Except for me. [More text here]
That was not relevant at all. Zend Framework; don’t love it yet, haven’t seen enough. I’m really sure I will, even just pre-ordered the first book on ZF: “Zend Framework in Action” though MEAP. I have a good feeling about the “in Action” series, bought AJAX in Action a while ago sadly I’ve not got the time to read it yet (that was a complete lie).

Now, writing this I think I realize that I write for sanity, or at least to feel a little bit better about myself. I don’t know why that is exactly, but I think it’s the case.
