Building PHP applications with or without a framework

In this topic we'll be learning how to build a PHP application without a framework, and then learning how to build your first MVC Framework with PHP.

Learning how to build your own PHP applications without a PHP framework can be very similar to building with a framework, without the specific framework requirements and opinionated design.

Building an MVC Framework with PHP is a great way to learn how to build a PHP application from scratch with more focus on the structure and architecture.

In both cases you will depend on libraries and organising your code to make it more reusable with less duplication.
Learning how to isolate errors and separate your code is one of the most important factors for building future proof, maintainable applications.
