1.1 Introduction
There are a wide range of PHP frameworks out there and all of them claim to be special, in one way or another. One of those frameworks is Phalcon, but it’s a mistake to consider it just another PHP framework. What makes Phalcon unique and very special is its speed and the way it loads and runs. In fact, it’s the fastest PHP framework ever built!
In this lesson, I’ll explain a little about what makes Phalcon special as a PHP framework: blazing speed. I’ll also tell you what you can expect to learn in this course.

1.1 Introduction
There is a wide range of PHP frameworks out there. All of them claim to be special in one way or another. One of those PHP frameworks is Phalcon. There is no doubt that it's a full state PHP framework backed with all the features that a traditional framework should offer, but it will be your mistake to consider just another PHP framework. What makes Phalcon very unique and special is it's speed and the way it loads and runs. In fact, it's the fastest PHP framework ever built. It's not one of those frameworks that you will download and extract into a directory to use it. Rather, it's an extension written in C language that loads in your RAM as a PHP module. Which makes it blazing fast, i mean very, very fast, like two to three times more fast. Phalcon is also built upon a very powerful, but easy to understand, use pattern called dependency injection, you just initialize a service once, and then use them virtually anywhere to load the application. It makes it more loosely coupled and less dependent. Hi, my name is Manish Kumar your instructor for this course on creating a restful API with Phalcon by .plus you will need some basic PHP knowledge to work through this course. Experience with any PHP framework is also a plus. Do check out my next lesson where I will walk you through some of the interesting things that you will be taking home from this course. Till then, chow.
