Currently I’m working on integrating a caching mechanism that will automatically integrate your tool of choice (APC, memcache, etc.) at several possible levels of granularity within a page request (whole page, pipe region, persistence.) I hope to have the caching integrated within the next 2 weeks.
Once I have the caching in place, I would like to develop a simple application using some of the other available PHP frameworks (CakePHP, CodeIgniter, perhaps Yii) to contrast the approaches for the different frameworks. I hate seeing the comparison of frameworks using stupid “Hello World” examples.
Additionally, I’ll have a new screencast that walks you through some basic DB work with Nephtali in the next few days.
All this to say, things are still improving, and I hope you come back to check on the progress
