inVINCEable Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Is there a true advantage for the lone developer in using a framework such as CakePHP? My intent is to create a social networking site that will be fairly basic, but have some Ajax features implemented. using a framework such as CakePHP, will this slow down queries, etc? Any input on advantages/disadvantages of developing with queries would be wonderful. Thanks.

genericnumber1 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Frameworks, such as CakePHP, are great for rapid development. They have many features to help you remove the monotony of things like validation, forms, queries, etc, as well as helping you to organize your code more efficiently (CakePHP is MVC). The major disadvantage to such a framework is speed - the extra code slows down your application, so you should weigh what you really care about, blazing fast loads or blazing fast development. To me the speed hit isn't too bad at all. A framework in my mind is a handy tool you shouldn't pass up if you're not trying to learn PHP or if you're in a rush. If you don't like other people's code write your own framework or tweak theirs, it's the beauty of open source and CakePHP being under the MIT license.
