After having a lover’s spat with Ruby on Rails, I’ve decided to see all that’s out there as far as rapid development application frameworks for the web. So far, I’ve been more impressed with Rails overall - mostly due to the completeness of features - but several PHP frameworks have really caught my attention.
CakePHP, Zend Framework and now Code Igniter.
I sat down in front of Code Igniter last night, and this morning I have a completely working front-end prototyping tool which modularizes CSS layout logic, color scheme and typography settings. Very cool, and it was deceptively easy.
One thing I really noticed was it’s weight. Code Igniter is FAST! Way faster than Rails, and faster than most of the PHP frameworks I’ve been using too.
I think this may be the start of a beautiful rekindling of my love for PHP.
