As soon as the WeCamp website was launched and the tickets were available I was sold, I quite literally took out my savings and bought the ticket. There was no way I was going to miss being stuck on an island with other PHP enthusiasts. What surprised me the most was how they had kept it a secret from me since I co-organize PHPAmersfoort with the guys from Ingewikkeld, well done!
The first framework I touched was Zend Framework 1 and moved onto Zend Framework 2 when the beta came out. It has served me well during numerous of projects, but I couldn't help but wonder what Symfony 2 is like as opposed to ZF2. The best way to find out is do a project with it, right? That's exactly what I did.
