Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] New to list, 2 questions - Meetings, and Frameworks

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

Hey Sara!

   ChiPUG now has a redundant array of Sara's ;-) (albeit slightly 
different spelling).

   Not sure about January meeting.. Rich?..

   As to frameworks, Cake is pretty Rails-like and good and have heard 
good things about Symfony.  Don't have any good docs, but would strongly 
suggest a slow methodical approach in evaluating frameworks.  If you 
have an existing code base, it may be more efficient to just refactor to 
a good pattern rather than use framework.

   Its a good group of PHP people here and PHP|tek conference is going 
to be in Chicago again so there is a fair amount going on ;-)  Welcome!
