Slides I used for a presentation of Kohana 3 and it's features. Of course, there is a lot missed here but you should keep one thing in mind: Kohana is the best PHP framework. End of story :)

1. Kohana VS Yii By Kemal Delalic (kemal.delalic@gmail.com)

2. Kohana & VS Yii Two different worlds.

3. Framework buzz 30+ modern PHP frameworks Different approaches Hard to choose Even harder to follow

4. “Let’s fix what we have” EllisLabs’s slow development Trying to improve CodeIgniter Community rejection BlueFlame

5. “Let’s make it better” PHP5 Independant Faster development Kohana 2

6. “Let’s make it much better” Complete rewrite Keep it simple No magic Kohana 3

8. Kohana and I Used major frameworks for actual development before:Zend Framework, Symfony, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, etc. Had to work on a Kohana 3.0.0. project “Man, this looks bad”

9. STRESS

10. I have to install new PHP? Why aren’t method names like in Zend Framework? Feels “limited”? How to use this after ZF which is so ... awesome and full of everything? Where is the documentation?

12. REVELATION

13. PHP 5.2 Because it was already here.

14. Strict development and conventions. Extremely strict.

15. Code is a symphony and you feel like an artistwriting it

16. Write your own code instead of having it generated for you

17. No magic stuff because nothing happens out of nowhere

18. DRY You should never repeat yourself.

19. Speed So fast that no one seems to benchmark against it.

20. Makes sense Everything is isolated and in it’s place

21. Unit tested Having something safe and tested can’t be bad.

23. The Core Only what PHP misses natively

24. Full UTF-8 support Because 6 isn’t coming soon

25. Cascading File System You don’t know how much you always needed it.

26. Use Class, extend Kohana_Class

27. HMVC (Hierarchical Model-View-Controller)

28. RFC 2616

29. Speaking of DRY

30. Routes help you not to get lost

31. Profile

32. __(‘Internationalization’) As easy as it can be

33. Helpers Classes like any others Powerful toolset Arr CLI Cookie Date Debug Encrypt Feed File Form Fragment (caching) HTML I18n Inflector Log Num Security Session Text Upload URL UTF8 Validation

35. Modularity Force powered by CFS

36. Default modules Auth Cache Codebench Database Image ORM UnitTest Userguide

37. Auth Provides basic tools for authentication Driver support – file auth by default

38. Cache Driver support – all popular drivers Very easy to use and change driver later

39. CodeBench Easy benchmarking interface on application level

40. Database Powerful object oriented interface Multiple driver support, MySQL and PDO by default

41. Image Provides extremely easy interface for image manipulation Feels like Photoshop

42. ORM ActiveRecord pattern Respect and be respected (conventions)

43. Unittest Web interface for running all unit tests from a single place: app, modules, framework

44. Userguide All framework documentation in one place Application’s API documented “on-the-fly” Perfect for collaboration and new developers arriving to the project

46. Community modules 500+ modules Use Zend Framework or any other library as a module Obvious Kohanas’ affection on module authors’ code quality

48. People behind Kohana Small, yet very elite community

49. Rasmus Lerdorf is well known for “hating” frameworks
