<?php echo ($AgileFramework == $HappyDeveloper) ? “Rasmus, think again!” : die(‘PHP’); delicious.com bookmarks.yahoo.com addons.mozilla.org All sites above were created using a PHP Framework.
Who am I ?

C, C++, C# That’s not me!
Been there. Done that. Got over it!
I am a Web Developer. Like you!

Do you like Spaghetti? Warning: The following slides contain spaghetti code.

dont_get_me_wrong.php4 <?php $dirty_coder = ‘Spaghetti coder’; while ($iWasLearning /* in 1999 */) { echo “I was a $dirty_codern”; }
I know what it’s like ... ... to maintain spaghetti code.
iChanged_in.php5 <?php $everything /* became a */ = new Object(); $inPHP = ‘5’; $andMixing = “<html>with $php was a sin</html>”; $frameworks = “I created a lot of them!”;
Then I realized that ... ... knowing everything better ... reinventing the wheel ... organizing source code ... over and over again is a pretty heavy load.
But there is help ... ... to make you a more relaxed, more productive web developer. Disclaimer: The following slides are not the view of a sect or any kind of religion. Its just pragmatic!
If you could start fresh ... in a new job ... on a new project
If you could choose ... Don’t us CAF* e PHP? Spaghetti F rameworks * Create Another Framework
Don’t use PHP?
How much Spaghetti can you take?
Create Another Framework ?
Why should you use a Framework? You don’t need to reinvent the wheel
In fact, most of us should not ...
Not reinventing the wheel ... Framework No Framework Lines of Code you need to write Project Complexity ... makes you code less! Disclaimer: I do not trust any statistics, I did not invent myself. Graphs are representative to express a general fact.
But I am a coder! I want to code more!
Lines of Code you need to write But writing more code ... Bugs ... results in more bugs! Disclaimer: I do not trust any statistics, I did not invent myself. Graphs are representative to express a general fact.
I (the developer) need to be in control of everything.
Control the important stuff ... Important Basic Without a framework With a framework ... to create a useful application! Disclaimer: I do not trust any statistics, I did not invent myself. Graphs are representative to express a general fact.
Good Frameworks ...
suspects you from the usual and a shield, which protects Good Frameworks ... ... while leaving room for your creativity.... ... provide a solid ... ... unit tested ... ... base ...
Let us have a look at some frameworks.
Framework or Library? Component Libraries weaker MVC MVC Frameworks stronger ... ...

Framework or Library? Component Libraries weaker MVC MVC Frameworks stronger + ... ...
Choose a solid MVC Framework ... and reuse components from libraries.
I am not going to tell you ... ... to choose a specific framework. (This is not an advertisement for a specific framework)
It’s up to your needs and likes.
It’s up to your needs and likes. .. only one thing ... if you hate configuration... don’t choose Symfony!
What does agile software development have to do with frameworks?
Manifesto for Agile Software Development (http://www.agilemanifesto.org) Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan
Ready to be agile?
Be agile: Responding to change Stop fearing change. Accept it. Welcome it.
Does your current development process allow change easily?
Be agile Customer Collaboration Be transparent. About work. About timing.
Can you collaborate transparently? Or do you need strong contracts to cover you ?
Be agile Working Software Unit tests are the best developer documentation.
Is your current software testable? Or do you need to test manually, with a browser ?
Be agile Individuals and Interaction The right team will do the best job.
Do you have a good team work? Or are you still building hierachies and departments ?
If you answered one+ question(s) with “No ... “ you are probably not ready to be agile.
How can a framework help me here?
Design first. Enduser centric design - Only data that is needed for interaction is of importance.
Test your MODELS and CONTROLLERS. Tests first. Frameworks make it easy to test.
Honesty and Trust
Welcome change If a change breaks something, the unit tests will alarm you.
... still doubts?
But Rasmus said that* ... ... frameworks are performing poorly * http://tinyurl.com/frameworks-think-again
Ok, let me tell you something about Rasmus Lerdorf
Rasmus’ view on PHP a simple tool for non-developers “to solve the web problem” .. if you cannot solve it easily with PHP - push it to another layer* ... * (Not everyone wants/can code php extensions) Did I get you right Rasmus?
I got a message for you Rasmus Graduated Computer Scientists are developing in PHP ... ... not just script kiddies.
Let us have a look at Rasmus way of testing PHP frameworks.
Who is running the following Application for Business?
I am going to show you the source code for this money machine. You need to sign a NDA before though!
Disclosed Hello World Business Core <html> <head> </title> hp ech o “Test” ?> <title><?p </head> <body> rld” ?> o “Hello Wo <?php ech </body> </html>
puuuuuuh ... give me a second.
Warning: Ugly Slides ahead Rasmus does his statistics about performance. Remember? I don’t trust statistics, I did not invent myself.
no comment.
Ok... maybe ONE.
Rasmus simplifies things ... for the sake of understanding?
Rasmus simplifies things ... for the sake of understanding? A bit too simple.
Rasmus is right. Frameworks suck for Hello World Applications. ;-) We evolved a bit since 1995... Could someone please start a “hello business” example?
We want to make money become rich and famous. So a hello world app would maybe be my second best choice for that purpose.
Ok, now seriously.
Frameworks are slower than static <HTML/>
Is your primary concern Performance?
So either ... your Application is already that BIG OR your creativity is too small
You reach the limit of your Creativity way before ...
... you reach the limit of Computing Power
Scaling is a problem all of us wish to have.
But let’s first build that great application.
But let’s first build that great application. ... which millions use!
Choose a MVC Framework ... today
.. and concentrate on the creative part ...
.. let’s see a magic example of how easy web application development can be!
