The Czech Republic is a small country, but there is a lot of interesting things what czech programmers and webdesign community do. Get inspired by frameworks, (not)ORMs and tools they use.
Survey
There was a survey on the most known online magazin in the webdevelopment community few months ago. I wanted to go through this article, but you can simply use google translator and you will probably understand most of it, or you can go through data overview in google docs (Raw data are linked in the article). Btw. do you know that NetBeans are made in the Czech Republic?
Then I wanted to show you some examples of "PHP software made in the Czech Republic"
- Adminer - "PHPMyAdmin in one file for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite..." PHPMyAdmin¨
- The most used framework (even more than Symfony): Nette - see feature list, especially security, steep learning curve and good habits. Who uses this framework? For example our president (Yes, the one who "stole" the pen ;o). There is a big independent test of frameworks and Nette excels in performance.
- Don't you like ORM, but still need something better than mysql_query? There is a nice tool Dibi and more complex NotORM - compare it with Doctrine 2.
- Complex formatting tool Texy - Try it!
- There is more nice stuff, but maybe next time or if somebody adds something else in comments...
Our (un)conferences
I want to invite you to http://webexpo.net/prague2011/ next week (speakers/development) or czech barcamps (one is in Brno in October).
