Frequently Asked Questions

What is this site built with?

This site was built using Kohana 3.0.x, jQuery, and a custom CMS module for Kohana that I hope to release to the public at some point.

Which PHP frameworks do you currently work with?

Although I heavily prefer using Kohana 3, I have experience with CodeIgniter, ZendFramework, and Kohana 2.x. With each of these frameworks I have developed custom library code, components or modules, and deployed applications in a production environment. I have familiarity with some aspects of CakePHP and Symphony, although I have used neither for the entire lifecycle of a project.

In a recent project I was introduced to the Doctrine ORM where I have been able to gain a little experience and basic understanding of the library.

Which javascript libraries do you work with?

Most of my javascript experience is with jQuery. I do like MooTools a lot, however, I have not had many opportunities to work with it extensively.

What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

Fourty-two.
