If you're into minimal frameworks that help you just "get the job done" I wanted to pass along news of an emerging PHP framework called Recess that I'm a lead developer of.

I've just learned it as I went along. I get paid to do it now; so, I guess I should actually call myself a "Professional PHP Developer". Ummm....no. If someone saw my code, they'd probably laugh. Anyway, I started looking at all the frameworks about a year ago. I just couldn't tie myself to them because of the restrictions with the database schemas. In my real day job environment, I'm stuck with many legacy databases with schemas that simply can't conform to these frameworks' naming and labeling conventions. Long story short - If you're starting from the ground up, frameworks might be great. If you're dealing with legacy dbs and code, I think you'd be shooting yourself in the foot (and banging your head against the wall) more than you'd be coding. Too bad I didn't use my own advice when starting coding on AppBeacon... I consider myself a “PHP Hack” as well. I’ve just learned it as I went along.

Too bad I didn’t use my own advice when starting coding on AppBeacon…
