KEYNOTE PANEL | Frameworks: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
summary
Panel sweeps through practical takeaways: use a framework when it speeds delivery or enforces team standards, prefer components over whole stacks, and manage deps with Composer replaces PEAR; expect Zend Framework 2 breaks ZF1 compatibility and plan migration. Tests and integration suites prove upgrades, docs (Zend Framework 2 ships with thin docs) determine ramp time, and pick stable releases unless maintaining a migration branch. Beware pushing core business logic into client JS; scale depends on how code is written not the framework name.
