- [Drew] Hi, I'm Drew Falkman. I've been developing web applications since before PHP even existed, as well as many mobile and web applications since then. I've seen PHP evolve into a solid object-oriented development environment with a huge community. This course is about PHP Model-View-Controller frameworks. Frameworks are made up of both prescribed patterns to structure and organize your code and pre-built, pretested components that you can use to shorten your development time and to aid in code organization. I've worked on projects without frameworks. I've worked on projects with overly complicated frameworks, and I realized that choosing a framework is probably one of the most important decisions you will make about your PHP application. It's going to determine how long it takes to develop different aspects of your app. It will determine how well you can have multiple developers working on the same code base, and it will determine ultimately how you're going to code your app. So in this course, I will introduce you to the six most popular frameworks. So sit back, put your thinking caps on, and let's take a look at these PHP MVC frameworks.
