I too first "learned" MVC programming in Rails and found that Datamapper - Overzealous Edition has a strong Rails flavor to it. I was on the fence at first - between taking the path of creating CI-style models, or using DataMapper to have models that map to database tables, and I finally decided to go the DataMapper way. Having "objects" (like users or products or posts) that have their own methods is just too useful to pass-up! Plus, writing a ton of methods in a model to do custom CRUD tasks is a pain. Having that stuff "automated" is a much more enjoyable way for me to program. Greg |
