I’ve started on a project using a very good framework i am pleased about. If you take your time to have a look around on the website, you can clearly see this is a framework with alot of documentation, one of the major requirements for selection (in my case).

I decided to give it a go and use the framework on my latest project for EuPR (www.plasticsrecyclers.eu), as the timeframe for this project was quite limited, i needed a good framework, with plenty of documentation to solve the issues i would run into…

A snippet from the symfony about page :

Symfony is a web application framework for PHP5 projects.

It aims to speed up the creation and maintenance of web applications, and to replace the repetitive coding tasks by power, control and pleasure.

The very small number of prerequisites make symfony easy to install on any configuration; you just need Unix or Windows with a web server and PHP 5 installed. It is compatible with almost every database system. In addition, it has a very small overhead, so the benefits of the framework don’t come at the cost of an increase of hosting costs.

If you want to have a look at the results, go over to plasticsrecyclers.eu, i implented a login form, upload functionality (in different categories and a pager to browse through the various results of newsletters & documents…Keep in note that this is a “non-released” website still open for feedback & improvements….

Whatta ya think ?

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

If you are following tech news, new technologies it makes me feel like it’s going to be a very exciting year for us (webdesigners) and also end-users. Firefox is coming out with v2.0 of their browser, the roadmap looks interesting. With AJAX getting more attention during 2005, all kind of interesting apps / packages / websites are popping up using the “Asynchronous JavaScript And XML” possibilities…

Too much new things are popping up, i can’t seem to catch up fast enough (combined with loads of work and social life)…but hey, what else is new ?
