Welcome

Diving into more web development. I've been digging into building the backbone to a system that will distribute media through multiple sites with a team of developers. It's interesting to see how large web applications that will offer REST or XML-RPC work from ground up. Imbee.com was interesting to work on, and in the end, the team did well because the site looks nice.

Also, I'm looking into the whole Zend framework. They offer a very abstract series of php class's to help build a custom system. The do offer a MVC framework, but you don't need to use that if you don't care to. It looks more promising than CakePHP in regards to scalability. This is mainly because you're forced to control and write a the entire Model since Zend does not offer one in the class's. While this might be a hassle for smaller sites where scalability is not a problem, this is nice for large sites where over loaded relationships can get out of control in the CakePHP model (form my past experience.)
