check out symfony, a mature php framework with plugins for the yui library among others.

to the credit of their developers, both yui and symfony are state-of-the-art, solid, mature, and enterprise-capable. they have a vast developer community and are actively supported by well-establish and reputable companies.

‘less is more’, or in other words, I have yet to find a need to use another javascript library to accomplish what I want to for the client interface. with yui 2.5.0 the list of goodies continues to exceed expectations. likewise symfony provides everything I need in a php framework. ruby-on-rails is good, but I found it’s config restrictions can be show-stoppers, expecially in the kind of sophisticated websites we develop. with symfony your config can be as limited as ruby-on-rails or uber-flexible without breaking the framework, and without breaking dry, rad, etc., principals.

‘all you need is yui’. maybe this can be turned into a song a la john lennon and placed on youtube.

another reason to use yui and symfony is the clarity and completeness of documentation. without proper documentation any library or framework becomes an expensive proposition as you spend more time ‘figuring it out’. with yui and symfony it is clear how to accomplish what you want. symfony goes as far as placing their published book online, free for all. no need to cough up $ to learn ‘the how’. Spend the $40-50 saved into your retirement account, more if you have a team of noobs hungry for yui and symfony knowledge. they ‘read-the-friendly-manual’ and stop bugging you.

Hi all,

I’m working on some coldfusion scripts that make it easier to use the latest version instead of the built-in ones with coldfusion 8 (and also you could use them on CF7)

As soon as I got something available for the public, I’ll post it on my blog.

Thanks again Satyam for your great work!

I am not a big javascript fan but have been learning prototype and scriptaculous, i have found a great php framework - cakephp.org, and have started working with YUI.

The cakephp framework allows for really easy implementations of just about anything and is worth a look for any php programmer - the core code is amazing - especially for newbie’s to learn from real world example.
