This will just be a short post to give an update on our SFG for June.

I’d mentioned a while back that I had built an intranet application with PHP. While I was able to spit out accessible and validating pages, I was not a very advanced programmer so the entire application was written using procedural code.

I’ve been reading a bit the last few months on Object Oriented PHP development and I think that using the framework will give me a head start as there are a lot of standard things to handle in most applications that don’t need to be re-invented. Quite a bit of the security and database connectivity issues are already handled by the framework and this also gives me a place to begin to really understand the structure and theory of OO programming by following an already established structure.
