genzedu777 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi guys, I just have a simple question. Recently I have come across framework, and realised from a few programmers that they are using Framework to assist them in creating websites, and it seems like most of the codes are provided. My question is, if framework is so useful, why are there still people coding from scratch? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/229652-how-effective-is-framework/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 You speak of 'framework' like it is one specific thing. There are many frameworks written for PHP. if framework is so useful, why are there still people coding from scratch? I think you'll find most decent programmers are using frameworks. It would be a very small project where writing from scratch would be considered IMO.

Anti-Moronic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Using frameworks for web development is like using motorized transport to travel to work. Some people insist on walking, ie no framework. Some people insist on cycling, ie their own framework, others insist on using their car, ie a popular framework with their own twist, and others just know using the bus is the easiest, most reliable, cost-efficient solution: those are the people who use popular frameworks, and while their 'riding the bus' they have plenty of time to read the paper (study documentation). ..ok..complex and somewhat drawn-out and misdirected analogy but i'm feeling playful Point is, nearly every website you visit a framework is being used. Could be js (jQuery) or php...there is at least one framework being put to good use. For micro projects frameworks are usually overkill (the php kind) but there are even exceptions there. Use a framework, and don't look back. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/229652-how-effective-is-framework/#findComment-1183903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

renoirb Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Agrees with the answers. You need to know what you want to achieve. 1. Application (registration processes, business logic, multiple way to show data (webservices for instance)) ... best suited for a Framework 2. Website (show pages, basic lists (simple joints)) ... best suited for a CMF or a CMS (CMF is what MODx is with symfony for content... than what WordPress is for a blog) 3. Blog (Frequent posts, categorization, comments, basic CMS) ... WordPress. No question. 4. Build an open source application ... please. use a framework!! pls. my two cents Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/229652-how-effective-is-framework/#findComment-1187830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
