I have recently discovered Akelos a wonderfully efficient framework that allows you to control scaffolding and generate controllers in much the same way that you would in Ruby on Rails. Not only is the framework designed to cut corners, but it also has an amazingly useful version control system, that allows you to upgrade your applications without having to worry about new data impacting crashing the application.

From my short experience with this software, I can see that it is going to be a very strong favorite in the open source world, in my opinion surpassing it’s rival Symfony. I am sure to make this framework an avid part of my tool box and do what I can to promote such a well structured software. Kudos to Bermi over at http://akelos.org
