Farewell e107....
New found knowledge
A few months ago I discovered sitepoint's PHP Application design forum and learned a lot about how I can develop faster and more stable PHP applications. Test Driven Development and design patterns was really great. I bought a book called Guide to PHP Design Patterns and it showed me how I should be developing my PHP applications. I recomend it to every intermediate to advance PHP developer.
So what?
For the past years I've been using e107 for my website projects from a simple theme to a complete ecommerce website. I have relied to e107's custom pages and user/group management in the admin area and the very easy to use theme coding in building my projects. e107 was able to be what I want it to be... well almost. With all the experiences I had with my previous projects and my new found knowledge I have come to a point where I am now able to create my own framework and detach my self from e107. I'm planning to build my own lightweight MVC framework(w/c probably might not be opensource). I will be putting all my freetime to that project thus I will not have anytime for e107 anymore.
No more opensource projects?
I might make a few projects w/c uses existing MVC frameworks like codeigniter and/or cakephp to learn a few things on how they implemented things. I'm thinking of a web app where I can manage my money. It's my biggest problem at the moment not that I have plenty of it but because I wanted to make good financial decisions.
What about this site?
I will keep this site online for 2months then after that I will redirect it to my new website. All of my e107 projects will still be available for download there.
THANK YOU e107 devs and e107 Community!!!
