PHP Advent 2009 / You Don’t Need All That

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:10:21 +0000

"The point I am trying to make is we’re getting a little crazy with our architectures. These days, we write PHP just like Java, but it’s not Java. It works completely differently, and we shouldn’t try to force patterns that aren’t necessarily the best fit. You don’t need all that. Just write good code."

"I generally think of it as business logic, HTTP translation layer, and templates, rather than as model, controller and view, respectively."

rc3.org - ETL and MVC

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:02:56 +0000

"Many Web developers think in MVC, the design pattern that describes Web development frameworks from Struts to Rails to CodeIgniter. What I’m finding lately, though, is that it’s not incredibly intuitive. ... The other day I was thinking about another acronym that’s relatively new to me — ETL. It stands for Extract, transform, load and is DBA jargon for the process of migrating data from one data source to another. But I think that for reports in particular, it describes how you should organize your code pretty well."
