Hi Hari,

Thank you for your great response. I’m hoping to use Doctrine, Jquery and Netbeans in the near future as I agree, they have a lot of advantages over Propel, Dojo and Eclipse.

My only problem with Netbeans is that it automatically updated my SVN files which doesn’t work with my current development environment.

Cheers,

Andre

I like Zend and I agree that Zend has very high momentum. Symfony is another alternative which provides more of a Rails like experience.

I have used both Doctrine and Propel. I do not agree that Propel is a good choice – it is so terse – Doctrine is way better. Above that integrating Doctrine to Zend is very easy – I have done that.

Dojo has become a big huge Javascript library. I would choose JQuery with JQuery UI or JQuery Tools. JQuery has a lot of cool plugins. In past I have used Dojo, Mootools and Scriptaculous… Once you use JQuery, you can never think of using any other AJAX framework.

I was an eclipse fan till recently but I believe Eclipse has dropped the ball – the IDE became too slow that it is impossible to run it in older machines. I recently switched to Netbeans – much better but I agree the PHP support not that great.

I have used CakePHP in the past, but maybe I will give Zend a try.

Great article!

I like to use bash/vim to write code and phpMyAdmin for designing databases.

I have never really liked the mvc stuff… But I think I should try it…
