From the author of PHP: A Tutorial on using a "no-framework PHP MVC framework" to build Web 2.0 apps Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, has published an interesting and useful tutorial on building a Web 2.0 application with PHP5, the new Yahoo! User Interface Library, and JSON. The catch? He's reacting to the trend toward strict MVC frameworks for application construction and offers an alternative that will no doubt have MVC advocates up in arms. The tutorial is followed by a lengthy discussion by fans of both Rasmus and MVC apps like Rails.
