In this new post Paul Jones has reprinted an interview he did with PHP Magazin about the recent 1.0 release of the PHP framework project he is a lead on - the Aura project.

I did an email interview with the folks at PHP Magazin; their German version is here. What follows is our original email exchange in English.

They talked about some of the core principles behind the framework, its origins from the Solar framework, the team's “libraries first, framework second” methods and its push to be a PHP 5.4-focused framework. There's also a bit that compares the framework to two other popular options - Zend Framework and Symfony.
