For my final year project at University I am building a social network style application for street and celebratory arts surrounding the run-up to the London 2012 olympics (although not just london 2012).
Why a framework?
This project has quite an extensive requirements list, coupled along with a very tight deadline. Being a developer that very much believes you should not "re-invent wheel" unless their is a benefit along with the tight deadline I started to look at PHP 5 frameworks to speed up the development and also bring other advantages. Such advantages include:
Being a developer, and an iPhone owner, the announcement of the iPhone SDK from apple was very exciting. I was very excited about the prospect of developing software for the iPhone. One thing that I really like about the iPhone is the way it fits into your daily life. Its very simple to use and at the same time very powerful. A large part of why it has both these attributes (easy to use and powerful) is because of its user interface.
Entering my final year at University I realized that for my final year I had to research, plan, build, test and evaluate a substantial piece of web-based engineering. At the start of the year I attended the introduction lectures for this module of work and started to get really worried. Everyone seemed to have picked their project over the summer and already knew what they were doing. The course I am studying does not have many people studying it (Web Computing) and it is jointly run by two separate departments we are not always given very much, if any notice with these things at all. Anyway, I was a little frustrated that I was not told sooner. However I could not let this get in the way and set out to finding a project.
