crinem’s notes

Well :) I have no answer for this question :P because I didn’t try no one of the PHP clones…
I only searched in the web some informations about these PHP framework, and I found interesting articles and comments with which I can make some considerations.
As a first thing, I can say that RoR is surely different from these framework, not in conceptual terms but in implementative terms.
I’ve read an interesting post talking about difference between RoR and PHP for a java programmer that had never used either before. In this article he talks about the page centric development that usually is used with PHP (even if there is an article here about mature design of web applications that I suggest to read) against the MVC approach of RoR.
Then I read some developers comments here ( Rails Clones: Bloodsuckers or Useful Drones?) and I find them very useful. Substantially programmers are developing Rails’ clones in many scripting languages…What will be the best one :P ?
Well, then i found some links of PHP clones, I give you some of them:

• CakePHP
• Biscuit
• PHPonTrax

But why I am writing this post ? Because maybe, in a very (hopefully eh eh) close future (depending on work and study schedules) I’ll do an experiment with a friend. Substantially we want to develop the same application, one of us with RoR (this is me eh eh eh) and the other with PHP (maybe with Cake) and make confrontation between the two framework !!!
I hope to write soon a post about this !!!
