What Can PHP Learn From Rails?

The best PHP and DB Conference of 2006php/db|works 2006 Session Schedulephp/db|works 2006 Session Synopsis Index → What Can PHP Learn From Rails?

Speaker: Chris Hartjes
Start time: Thursday @ 10:15
Duration: 1 hour
Talk synopsis: The Ruby on Rails web development framework introduces a lot of concepts that are not familiar to PHP developers. This talk examines how we can use these concepts to build lighter, faster, more powerful web apps.

Rails does a lot of things well and there is no reason why PHP developers shouldn't be aware of things like code generation, easy-to-use database abstractions, strict use of the Model-View-Controller design pattern and the overall benefits of using a framework to build your application.

The purpose is not to boost Rails but to show developers that there is nothing wrong with borrowing concepts from other programming languages if they can give a developer a boost in productivity.
