A number of months ago, Ed Finkler started a discussion in the PHP community about a€oMicroPHPa€¯; to summarize, the movement is about:
- Building small, single-purpose libraries.
- Using small things that work together to solve larger problems.
I think there are some really good ideas that have come out of this, and also a number of questionable practices1.
One piece in particular I've focussed on is the concept of so-called a€omicroframeworksa€¯.
