MVC Frameworks for Building PHP Web Applications (Revision 2015)

PHP developers have a choice: they can design their own architecture, essentially re-inventing the wheel, or they can use a framework. Frameworks speed up development, enhance collaboration, and help keep code organized. So why start from scratch? In this course, Drew Falkman introduces the six most popular PHP frameworks: Zend, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Yii, and Laravel. He'll describe each framework's advantages, show how to get and install the software, and then demonstrate how to get the default pages for each framework up and running, so viewers can see how the code is structured. In the final chapter, Drew compares all the frameworks and provides resources to move forward with each one. Your framework choice is one of the biggest factors affecting the success of your project; start here to get the information you need to make the right decision.
