A simple 'grep' told me that this framework has 820 PHP files. I know the Solar site holds lots of documentation, but to know and understand a framework, I want to see what the code looks like. Just to get an idea of its quality and security. With 820 files, there is no way I'm every even going to give it a try. In my opinion, it should take less time to understand a framework than it takes time to build your own simple framework. This framework, with its many files and 'complex' structure and object extending, definitly failed on that one. Another one for my ignore list.

The best way to learn to program, is by start learning to define a problem and its solution. A programming language is nothing more than a tool. A tool to tell the computer about the problem and the solution. Learn about, for example, Fitch propositional logic, about how to define a big problem into smaller problems, about iterative and recursive design, etc. The biggest problem with many 'programmers' these days is that they only know how to hack a piece of code in their favorite language, but they don't know how to program. If you want to learn someone how to write computer programs, start by stepping away from the computer and learn how to design a program, not how to actually write one.

How does the code look like OO? Because of the hooks. It's what you do with object inheritance: you override default functions. What has that to do with the number of queries? Because of the hooks, functions which are not required to build a page, are called nevertheless. These useless function calls (which query the database) make Drupal slow. Of course you can attack me saying I'm a bad programmer or I don't understand Drupal. I took Drupal 5.3 and the FAQ module from the Drupal website. It took 418 database queries to build a FAQ page. Yes,.... 418 queries! And please, don't give me some pointless reason why that would still be my fault. It will make you the smoker who says cigarettes aren't bad.
