Switching from Symfony to Drupal

I’ve taken the decision to switch from Symfony to Drupal for my latest personal project.

Although Symfony seemed really promising at first I found myself constantly fighting against quirks here and there that slowed down development. I’m not saying its not a good PHP MVC framework to build your next web project with. It just wasn’t suitable for something I needed up and running quickely.

So on to Drupal… I’ll blog as I go along. One thing I can say it the amazing documentation thats maintained by the Drupal user community. Its very complete and detailed making my life an awful lot easier :)

    Interesting Ben, I would be interested to hear how you are getting on with that. I am looking at both these ‘frameworks’ for different projects.

    Hello Ben,

    Did you find any quirks here and there in Drupal as well? I worked with symfony for 6 months straight and drupal for 6 months straight. I found miself fighting much more with drupal than symfony. And the procedural aspect of drupal is even more limited than the flexibility of OOP found in symfony.

    I would like to know whether the sites can be converted from Synfony to Drupal/Joomla?
