Del.icio.us switches to Symfony

Filed Under PHP, Symfony - October 3rd, 2007 9:12am

The preview of the new version of hugely popular web 2.0 social bookmarking site del.icio.us has been available (to invited users) for a few weeks now. In the news this morning Yahoo! have confirmed that del.icio.us was rebuilt using the Symfony framework. From the announcement on the Symfony website:

Of course, Yahoo! extended and modified Symfony to fit their needs, but what’s great is that they could actually do it, and that they will contribute their modifications back to the community in the form of plugins and bug fixes.

This is another major success for the framework following on from the earlier announcement that Yahoo! Bookmarks had been redeveloped with Symfony. Congratulations are due to Fabien, the team at Sensio and the Symfony community who have worked tirelessly to produce one of the highest quality enterprise PHP frameworks available.

    Congratulations!

    I am just coming from zend framework site. Spending two weeks to understand whole usage of it, but couldn’t get it up working. Documentation is shit, not enough samples, tutorials, nothing to guide forward, they must be joking. Only the creators of ZF can use it in real life. Nothing is clear, cos they are writing books about it in detail to sell and make money :D it looks like somehow commercial project by collecting open source developer community under commercial name.

    I decided to go on with symfony. and after reading this article, i am glad about my decision.

    Go on guys.

    Symfony is definitely an excellent framework with good documentation and a very active community. It has matured well over the last year, and is addressing all the right issues as it evolves. I’m glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

    We have used it here on several projects in NZ, most recently to build Travelbug (http://www.travelbug.co.nz/) for Trade Me.

    Looking forward to seeing what the Yahoo folks will contribute back to the project.
