Availability of Workshop Proceedings & Presentations -- Second Workshop on "Creation and Dissemination of Knowledge", organized by IMI, New Delhi

I previously set out to learn ROR but gave up when I got busy working on other projects. During the late summer I started looking into PHP frameworks and thought that Symphony might be a good idea but never pursued it any further. Yesterday, I discovered CodeIgniter when I found an article comparing different PHP frameworks.
