Framework or no framework? - Paradigm. - Mar 18, 2013
What do you guys recommend? I've never used one before. If you suggest I use one what do you suggest?

I, like you, have never used a framework as well.
I wonder if it would make everything easier.
I guess the best way would be to use your own framework. You'd be able to customize everything without a hassle.

You don't need a framework for everything. Or anything. Well, most of the time you shouldn't use a framework; too much overhead. Only for larger projects/full sites.
If you're going to learn a framework, make sure you have a SOLID grasp of OOP with PHP and understand the MVC pattern. Then learn Laravel. Boom.

Frameworks are a good way to learn how things are done. After you've mastered a framework like Laravel or Symfony, try going framework-less with your new knowledge. (If you don't know what a front controller is, USE A FRAMEWORK)
