I started PHP development by accident 12 years ago when a former colleague of mine nearly gave up with one of his first PHP apps and instantly fell in love with the language. Since then I have developed dozens of applications, from simple registration forms to enterprise portals, worked as PostNuke and PHP-WIN internal and became a ZCE in 2005.
I am currently evaluating the advantages of Symfony over my own custom framework and I see great potential in using a framework maintained and extended both by a community and company instead of having to write everything from scratch.
I am looking forward to dive into the Symfony philosophy and sources!
