Peregrine

This evening, Clint Savage and I met up with John Taber and Richard K. Miller at a little place in Provo called Pudding on the Rice, which sells only rice pudding in various flavors. The restaurant looks like it would fit in perfectly on Rodeo Drive or in Manhattan and was quite fun.

We spent a couple of hours discussing many things PHP. We talked about and compared PHP and other languages like PERL and Ruby. We spent some time discussing the pros and cons of several PHP frameworks like CakePHP (a.k.a. simply “Cake”), qcodo and CodeIgniter, among others. I’m not going to waste time here describing them, as John did an excellent job of comparing the various PHP MVC frameworks already.

It was a good time and I hope to be able to do more of them. If you have any interest in PHP at all (this definitely doesn’t mean you, Stuart), then you should make the effort to join us next time. Also, check out the Utah PHP Users Group site for details on other events for Utah’s PHP community.
