open source PHP web application framework that can dramatically reduce the amount of coding required in developing a full-featured website
and dramatically increase the amount of unnecessarily executing code.
if your project doesn't function, how could you not have seen that without mocking it up? and if it does work, now you have to recode it completely to make it scalable. i never understand the lure of these development platforms on top of development platforms.
It's about not reinventing the wheel. Maybe you're using your own framework, product of earlier projects. I.E., everytime you need some functions for forms validation, do you write a new set of functions from the scratch?
If that were true there wouldn't be the dozens upon dozens of frameworks that probably share little to no code between them. In fact, these frameworks are nothing but a constant reinventing of the wheel.
You could argue that the people creating these frameworks are reinventing the wheel.
The point is, when you create your own framework YOU are reinventing the wheel. I would rather take advantage of solid code (since I use zend framework, I have no way of knowing if CI has solid code or not) written by someone else than to be spending my time writing code that is available freely, and is probably written better and more robust than I could manage, at least without many iterations of refactoring.
I'm not advocating everyone create their own framework (unless they really have a good use case for doing so) and thus you're arguing against a point I wasn't making.
You were responding to another poster who, while discussing the comparative advantages of using a framework built by someone else vs building your own, indicated that an advantage of using other's frameworks is that you are not reinventing the wheel.
You said that the development of many different frameworks is an example of reinventing the wheel. I merely pointed out that if you are using a framework created by someone else, you are taking advantage of their efforts, and, by definition, not reinventing th

I'm talking about USING a framework, no writting one. And I'm assuming that indeed you are writting one just because you say you're not using one :D
