No Really, It's All About You

You've heard it all before - this framework can do this, this other one can do it faster. The lists of features and comparisons go on and on, but there's one thing those lists forget - the human element.

Frameworks are only as good as the developers using them and in this talk I'll focus on these developers and how they interact with the tools. How easy is it to create an application in CodeIgniter? What kinds of things does Solar make simpler than others? Is the Zend Framework the best choice for some of the more 'business applications'?

I'll take a developer-centric approach to four popular PHP frameworks: CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Solar and the Zend Framework. Topics include speed of application development, how simple they make the simple things and maybe a few benchmarks thrown in for fun.
