Yii and CakePHP

what-do-you-look-for-in-a-php-framework-graphI like working with CakePHP because it saved me a lot of time when it comes to roll-out new features for an existing app. Now I’m working on new features in markt.nl and it saves me like days to get going again and change some search results look and feel.

I also sometimes think CakePHP framework is a little bit bloated and I miss the lazy loading a lot. In some apps I use the (un)bindModel methods and containable behaviour a lot and often have to read the whole method again and wonder how I did it. (/em is asheamed of writing code without comments) ;)

So I stumbled against a blog post by Jonah while writing about the Yii framework in comparisment to CakePHP. I liked what I read but always have to try it out myself. So I will do that in the future. Maybe on Christmass because I hate such holidays (sorry all…)

Speaking of frameworks… Chris Hartjes made a shop with a nice t-shirt. I like the drawing but not gonna buy the shirt. The collar of those things always kill me ;)
