I’ve been creating some dummy projects for my presentations at SymfonyCamp and decided now would be a good time to learn using the Blueprint CSS framework. It’s a bit different than YUI which I’ve been using heavily, but it has some potential.

Of course, instead of just downloading the framework, I made a plugin for symfony. It’s not much yet, but eventually I’ll throw in some helpers.

Enjoy!

I’ve been asked to speak at SymfonyCamp (symfony['camp']) next month (you should all go if you can) and I thought I’d present as well as I could on Ajax and the Zend Framework Bridge (including Zend Search Lucene).

If you’re attending the camp and/or would like to hear about these topics please let me know any specific questions you might have about “symfony and Ajax” and “symfony and Zend” and I’ll try to address them in my presentations.

If you are unable to go fear not, I’ll try to post my notes on this site.

One performance boost that can be garnered from a symfony app (or any app for that matter) is disabling .htaccess. .htaccess does not need to be parsed on each visit to your app. Disabling .htaccess is trivial in your VirtualHost or another relevant part of your apache configuration place:

I think a common problem for some symfony developers that aren’t too familiar with Apache’s Mod Rewrite is when they move from a development environment that uses an explicit controller (e.g. frontend_dev.php is requested from the server explicitly) to their production app which implicitly calls index.php (e.g. ‘/’ or some other route is passed to index.php) things stop working.
