Popular websites built using Symfony Framework

Symfony website has a long list of websites built using Symfony Framework, but this is my own list of favorites/highlights. So here we go:

  • Yahoo! Bookmarks, what more to say, it's that giant company.
  • del.icio.us, the popular web 2.0 social bookmarking website.
  • travelbug.co.nz, one of Trademe's websites.
  • w3counter.com, providing detailed web stats to nearly 5,000 websites. That's over 300 database queries per second, over a billion page views being analyzed, over 28 real-time reports for each site, AJAX, RSS feeds, and lots more running on this framework. All on a single server.

To be continued ... I'll keep adding to this list of websites built using Symfony Framework

How to handle dot in Symfony URL

This problem with dot in Symfony URL is a common issue faced by developers. I've seen people asking about it few times in the symfony-users mailing list, and in fact I have asked about it once. Here's one recent thread about it in the mailing list.

Why I like Symfony Framework

I have been doing Java programming for quite a few years. Java is where I got my OOP lessons from and it just makes sense to me, from the multi-threading model, interfaces, abstract classes, encapsulation, to the bean.

I became known as Java man, because 1) I was born in Java island, 2) I program Java, 3) I can speak Javanese, and 4) even though unrelated, I also do Javascript.
