Markizano, kudos for the effort, will have a look at it and see if in anyway I can contribute to it :) I have some files/classes laying around in the App_ namespace on top of which I usually develop applications, will see if it fits in to this story in any way :)
As for ZF code which I have published, there's the source code behind phpplaneta.net https://github.com/robertbasic/phpplaneta it's nothing complicated, docs and tests are missing (actually am writing the tests now). It's not pretty, but finally a piece of code about which I can say "hey look I wrote that!" :) As for the ready made modules, how I see it, is that with ZF you can do something in so many ways and it's usually only a matter of taste (I, for example, prefer to do most of the stuff in the bootstrap's _init methods where as someone else likes to do most of the stuff in the application.ini config file). Someone will use a "hand-made" ORM, someone will use Doctrine 1 or 2, someone will use just Zend_Db_Table - none of this is wrong, but makes reusing modules much more difficult. Also, ZF has so many components, that most of the time my job is to glue together those components around my application specific business logic. Yes, there are places where this gluing together can be sped up, but that's usually only the "boring" part, like checking if a request is a POST, validating a form and other CRUD-y "patterns". Other parts are really the specific things for that project and that project only. But, if while writing that specific part I learned something new, I'll definitely share that on my blog. One more thing is that, again from my perspective, a lot of code gets written between 9AM and 5PM and not many of us have the freedom to publish the code which is written while working for someone. I personally asked for permission to publish some of the code I write at work, and the answer was something like "sure why not, as long as you strip down the application specific part" which again leaves me with the components and the glue I used around them. I hope that at least some parts of this rambling makes sense :) -- ~Robert Basic; http://robertbasic.com/ -- List: [email protected] Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: [email protected]
