Contagious is my personal (albeit online) journal where I can write any interesting thoughts or noteworthy events I may come across trying to get my ass on its way to California. By July of 2012 I hope to be moving into a lofty apartment in San Francisco, worry-free with a job, and continuing my education.
This journal will help me stay focused and track it all.
Later today I am going to launch a new little framework bundle I’ve nicknamed Harmony.
What is Harmony, you might ask?
Harmony is, to be brief, a small collection of components and frameworks tied together to be used in flat based PHP scripts. What? Basically, my goal was to create a way to integrate important Symfony components with Doctrine and Twig to create a smaller* framework to build smaller PHP scripts (like guestbooks and faq scripts) while allowing you to use higher level frameworks with ease. This can also help the movement of newer PHP developers into OOP, an important concept.
At the moment, Harmony is in extreme beta, but usable. For now most components are hardcoded into Harmony which means to add or remove your own components you’re going to need to modify the Harmony class itself. This will change soon. Another change will be the compression of Doctrine and removal of components that are not necessary (Doctrine is huge to say the least) in an effort to make Harmony more portable.
Check back soon and the link in the sidebar will be active to download to take a look at what I’m working at.
