Who is Chris Cubos• Started programming at age 10 (1985)• Created his first website (1995)• The first web designer/developer in Mindanao• Been doing this for 26 years and still learning• Won the first website competition in the Philippines

(1995)• Developed his first CD-ROM application (1996)• Developed his first flash site (1995)

… forward to the present


Tech Stuff• Languages: Q/BASIC/A, Pascal, C, C++,

Assembly, PHP, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, AutoLISP, Lingo, ActionScripting, etc…

• PHP Frameworks: CodeIgniter, FuelPHP• CMS: Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, etc• Applications: Photoshop, Dreamweaver,

Illustrator, AfterEffects, Premiere, CS, etc…


1st Web Development Company• Won the Philippine Webby Awards for

Multimedia Category• Won Davao Web Design Competition in multiple

categories and the overall best web design• 1st Company to develop flash based applications• 1st Company to develop multimedia CD-ROMs• 1st Company to develop web portals• 2nd Company to develop a PH search engine• Won multiple awards in web design, logo design


Yes the present• He currently devotes his time helping students

enhance their skills with the non-profit organization called the SiliconGulf Initiative

• He is also organizing large I.T. events in the Davao and currently organized the most number of I.T. events in a single month.


Brewing• We are currently developing the first game-based

training center in Mindanao• Multiple mobile apps and games• Organizing multiple upcoming I.T. events


MVC Defined• Model–view–controller (MVC) is a software

architecture, currently considered anarchitectural pattern used in softwareengineering. The pattern isolates "domainlogic" (the application logic for the user) from theuser interface (input and presentation),permitting independent development, testingand maintenance of each (separation ofconcerns).

How does MVC work?

View Model

Controller


History• Not a new concept• First described on 1979 MVC by Trygve

Reenskaug• He was working on Smalltalk at Xerox PARC• The original implementation is described in

depth in the influential paper "Applications Programming in Smalltalk-80: How to use Model–View–Controller"


The Model• The model manages the behavior and data of the

application• Responds to requests for information from both

the controller and view• Business and data logic


The View• Displays the content of the site. • A view can be a template or an element of a site• A model-view has a business logic inside it but

has design elements as well• Translates raw data to readable user interface


The Controller• The controller receives user input and initiates

a response by making calls on model objects.• A controller accepts input from the user and

instructs the model and viewport to perform actions based on that input.


Why use an MVC Framework• Faster development time• Use and reuse tested code• Automation (ORM, Auth, generators)• Maintainability• Community driven• Separation of code and design• Agile development• Modular development


PHP Web Frameworks• Zend Framework• CodeIgniter• Symfony• CakePHP• Yii• Kohana• FuelPHP• CMS Frameworks (Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla)


Other PHP Frameworks• Lithium – for people who hate frameworks• Akelos – ported from ruby on rails• Seagull – a mature OOP framework• Lion – a dual MVC+MVP architecture


Choosing PHP as a platform• Easy to learn• Easy to install in different operating systems• The largest number developers• More than 75% of websites run on PHP• Open Source• Powerful• Tons of developer tools available• Huge resources available


Detailed Framework GuideA quick run through over top PHP frameworks


Zend Framework• Open source (New BSD License)• Object oriented• MVC architecture• PHP 5.2.4+• Database Agnostic• http://www.zendframework.com/


Zend Framework• Provides a console tool for Rapid Development• Generates models, controllers, layouts, & views• Poor documentation• No automated SQL generation• No automated CRUD functions• Default tutorials don’t provide basic

authentication and security related examples


CodeIgniter• Not fully open source (CodeIgniter License)• Object oriented• MVC architecture• PHP 5.1.6+• Database Agnostic

– No native support for SQLite3• http://codeigniter.com/


CodeIgniter• No console tool• No automated generation tool• Very small footprint (2.2mb)• Video tutorials only• Tutorials and documentation (outdated)• Default tutorials don’t provide basic



Symfony• Open source (MIT License)• Object oriented• MVC architecture• PHP 5.2.4+• Database Agnostic

– Uses doctrine or propel for Object Relational Mapping (ORM) layer

• http://symfony.com/


Symfony• Powerful console tool (symfony)• Automagically generates all elements including

sql queries (from YAML source)• Provides extremely detailed tutorials for all

functionality• Tutorials work as documented• The basic tutorial includes admin functionality as

well as authentication and security information• Plugins are easy to install using console tool


CakePHP• Open source (MIT License)• Object oriented• MVC architecture• PHP4 (4.3.2+)• Database Agnostic

– Does not natively support SQLite3• http://cakephp.org/


CakePHP• Console tool (cake)• Cake bake generates code if a database is defined

including models, views, and controllers for the tables in the database

• Cake schema is used for database backup/restore functionality

• Separate tutorials for a weblog and ACL controlled applications

• Tutorials work as documented


Yii Framework• Open source (BSD License)• Object oriented• MVC architecture• PHP 5.3• Database Agnostic• http://www.yiiframework.com/


Yii Framework• Powerful console tool (yiic)• Does not generate SQL• Uses Gii (web based code generator) for CRUD

operations• Default Yii apps as generated by yiic includes

auth functionality and three basic pages• Tutorials are regularly updated.


Kohana• Open source (BSD License)• Originally based on CodeIgniter, but no more• Object oriented• H/MVC architecture• PHP 5.1.5• Database Agnostic

– Does not natively support SQLite3• http://kohanaframework.org/


Kohana• No console tool• No automated generation tool for any function• Small footprint (1.1mb)• Documentation is poor• Tutorials and documentation poor• Default tutorials don’t provide basic



Kohana• No console tool• No automated generation tool for any function• Small footprint (1.1mb)• Documentation is poor• Tutorials and documentation poor• Default tutorials don’t provide basic



FuelPHP• Open source (MIT License)• Based on ideas of multiple frameworks• Object oriented• H/MVC architecture• PHP 5.3+• Database Agnostic• http://www.fuelphp.com


FuelPHP• Powerful command line automation “OIL”

– Generate – Build MVC components, migrations, scaffolding– Refine – run migration and custom functions– Package – install and remove packages– Console – Test your code in real time with an interactive shell– Smallest footprint (865kb)

• New framework• Tutorials and docs is sufficient but• Default tutorials don’t provide basic authentication and

security related examples


How to you may choose• You will be developing so choose the one that

suits your style and preferences• Availability of Libraries• Documentation and sample codes• Available tools IDE, Automation, Testing• Community activity• Ease of hiring people who know the platform


How I choose a Framework• Quality of code is very important• Coding standards for a one-mind team• Lightweight• Performance

– Load what is needed– Short travel for each execution of code

• Easy to create your own libraries• Responsive community• Flexibility to adapt to MY style


What’s next• Choose a framework• Develop great applications• Become a millionaire• Party all day• Share your knowledge• Grow!!!
