As some of you may be aware I've been consuming massive amounts of articled information in regards to design patterns (MVC, Front Controller, Page Controller) and trying to peice them togather or rather how they are used or modelled after in existing frameworks, both desktop and web based...

All I have to say at this time...is whoa...is there ever a massive difference of opinions...

Tony Marston...is an interesting guy...although I disagree with alot of what he says...you can tell he's a old timer'

Whereas Zend...you can tell those guys are definetly obsessed with design patterns...maybe a little too zealous...it might hurt it's potential for success, but thats an entirely different can of worms... :P

Symphony is what I'm looking into as we speak...it's interesting...support for front controller as most do...but pretty much the same as most others...

All in all...I can almost tell where each project gets it's origins from...Java here, C++ there...only PHP :P

Interesting read let me tell you...

Anyone know of any frameworks which might deviate from the "norm" a little...just for diversity sake???

Any framework...any language...???

Cheers :)

I think Prado has been brought up quite a few times.

I've read alot about Prado...I like it...but IMHO it's not ideal either...of course none are perfect...Zend offers the most flexibility...but it's not documented that well for it's most crtiical component...and the docs suggest volatility...so I'm weary to use it...

I am following the mailing list of ZF for quite some time and this topic has been discussed.
The full and good docs will surely come, but since code is not in stable state yet, code is dynamically changed, so the thorough docs don't get that much attention.
