Strange Symphonies The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Exploring symfony

Since the past year, I have been experimenting with Ruby On Rails, one of the the hippest frameworks on the block. Everyone's talking about, and I myself believe that its great! But there are some short comings, the biggest being is finding hosting. There aren't many, and the ones that are good require some sort of credit card, which as a 20 year old your not allowed to have.

So I turned my head elsewhere, and remember hearing about the symfony (Yes, I believe it starts with a lower case 'S'). Watching the screencasts, I was reminded of the magic that Ruby on Rails has, but on PHP. Which is great, because everyone (luckily including my ISP) seems to be supporting PHP, perhaps because its alot easier to support? hehe.

So for the next few weeks I will be making the jump back from Ruby to PHP, more specifically symfony.

The best experience about learning Ruby On Rails? Learning Ruby itself, its truly an interesting language .

Maybe what I want from web development is magic! And lots of it!
