Project Bidding and Choosing a framework Story !!!

Yesterday afternoon in the OS lab we saw that SEP projects are listed in Courseweb.

So we decided to choose projects and bid for them as soon as possible. After thinking for more than 2hours we chose 3 projects according to our preference.

We wanted to do a Web application which go with PHP/MySQL. because we were aggressively studies about PHP and frameworks for last several weeks. So we chose 3 projects we can do with that open source technology.

2weeks back we started looking for a good PHP framework. I suggested to go with Laravel 4 because its an advanced framework and around 40+% of people using it to large PHP projects. It was built on Symphony.

The problem was we couldn’t find good reference book to study it. Sankalpa chose CakePHP and Codeigniter. Those frameworks are too small for our needs.

We wanted an intermediate framework which we can play with it and which has a good references online.

After doing heavy research and debating on Viber,

Yeah we have a group on Viber to talk about project.

Our JSPS Group discussion on Viber

Shiran came up with the idea of using Yii. Yeah Yii.

It has everything we need Good reference and it support every technology we need even though It sounds sucks.

So We all 4 decided to Stick with Yii 1.1 framework.Thats how we chose the framework.

in the OS lab we chose 3 projects which we can do with PHP and that framework. We submitted our project bid exactly 3.18pm because according to the Janitha’s opinion it was the lucky time of that day.

When we click the submit button We all 4 said “Saadu Saadu Saadu” in the OS lab.

Hope we’ll get a good Project :)
