Beyond Frameworks

Following 'Living With Frameworks' at PHP UK 2009, this session will show the the audience how we've broken free of the dependency on any one framework by using a component-based architecture and supporting tools allowing us to achieve much better code re-use across the business and associated technical teams.

This talk will show you the problems that happen when you throw your lot in with any one framework to build and maintain a product over a period of time. You'll be introduced to a more mature PHP application stack where the MVC framework is part of a layered architecture and the tools we have built in-house (and released as open-source) to speed up working with this approach.
