PHP Rules!

Hi,

I was chatting with my Java buddies recently and they had just discovered an alternative lightweight framework for building Java based web applications – something called Spring. The Spring framework is equivalent to the Zend Framework or Code Igniter.

I first learned about Spring before it was called Spring, back in 2002 when the inventor of Spring wrote a book (Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development) criticizing how ridiculously heavy Java was becoming.

… I was right there with him! So much so in fact, that I moved into the ultra nimble PHP.

🙂

Anyway, since then, the Spring Framework has become one of the major players in the Java world. I’ve been out of the Java world for a while now, but I do check things out once and a while just out of curiosity. Besides, the PHP community can learn a lot from Java … both the good and the bad.

The point of this article:

I checked out the official site for the Spring framework … they use Drupal! For those of you that may not know, Drupal is a PHP based web application.

Nice!
