Doctrine gets its first employee

Posted over 2 years ago by jwage

Starting in September 2008, I will begin working full-time on Doctrine! This great opportunity has been allowed by Sensio, the creators of the symfony MVC Framework. This arrangement will allow many great new things to happen for Doctrine. Below you will find a list of some of the things you can look forward to:

  • Core Development
  • The Doctrine Book
  • Travel to conferences
  • Doctrine Evangelism
  • Commercial/Paid Support
  • Workshops
  • Certifications

This is also good news for the symfony project as it is due to officially support Doctrine as its primary ORM in future versions. I will also be helping the core symfony team with the official integration of Doctrine with sfDoctrinePlugin.

Congratulation on this news! Doctrine is really a cool project and hopefully all its edges will soon be closed so it can easily be deployed on professional systems.

This is great news, it shows to new users that doctrine is serious stuff.

pro zend framework and doctrine collaboration Posted by Yanko about over 2 years ago.

I am using doctrine and zend framework in a production project (they work really well). I would like to have all mayor php frameworks (symfony, cake, codeigniter, zend) endorse doctrine as one of the "de facto" plugins for rich and professional ORM and DAL. Doctrine is a nice piece of software right now but it needs to be known more by the php community.

PHP requirement Posted by Vincent about over 2 years ago.

@Yanko - the only problem is that Doctrine's PHP requirements are higher than ZF's :(

Congrats!

Good luck Posted by ice_j7 about over 2 years ago.

I'm a propel lover, but with this I seriously think to take doctrine for my symfony 1.2 projects, good luck.
