Zoop!

Post by LiveFree »

Hey All,

Well, recently, I have been tasked with creating an app. the likes of ModernBill (no timeframe; thank god). it needs to have all the features (more or less) so I am looking into a framework to use.

Ive been looking at Zoop Framework, but can someone suggest another framework that (ideally), has AJAX, Templating, and DB Wrapper support. Or share your experiances with Zoop.

Thanks!

YAPF... :P

Didn't even know of that one...what frustrates me is their kinship to one another...

That's reinventing the wheel...or atleast none do a good job offering comparison charts or tutorials as to why theirs is better than the next...

How many CMS, Frameworks does PHP need?

For that reason, I say go with Zend or PRADO...

Zend because, it'll likely gain the most popularity eventually and PRADO because it tackles the problem similarly to ASP.NET

PRADO was also reconginzed by Zend a while back and won some challenge they hosted...so it probably is worth it's weight in salt at least - unlike the plethora of others...

I say this as someone who is also fascinated by framework design and tinkers with his own all the time and doesn't use any publicly available outside of learning how or why someone did something the way they did... :P

Cheers :)

Prado seems like a cool framework, but it seems best suited to .NET developers. I have never used a framework before so I cannot say which is right or best, but I like .NET's inherent templating system and event management, so I would instinctively go with Prado.
