I was raised in a part of web developmentland where the creation of websites is mostly synonymous with Wordpress, FTP, Joomla, and procedural code, instead of things like TDD, A/B testing, Doctrine, and design patterns. Having not traveled this area much, I'd like to know when object relational mapping and ORM tools are necessary to create and manage a site. Can you provide some generic (but real world examples) of when it should be used?
When is it necessary to use ORM tools?
php;database;orm
