DotKernel - a PHP Application Framework

based on 6 years of DotBoost Technologies experience in building websites and web-services.

• increased development productivity and runtime performance
• a learning tool to familiarize yourself with ZF complexity
• improved test coverage and peer- reviewed code quality
• applications and lower costs for your clients
• intrinsic security of Enterprise Level ZF components
• easy to learn by beginner and intermediate level developers
• reduced time-to-market for web
• freely available code repositories

• A different approach
• DotKernel is not a standalone framework it uses Zend Framework as a component library, accessing directly its classes. It has eliminated the complexity of ZF by using a different approach of how the web requests are handled.
• DotKernel is using a full, yet simplified HMVC (Hierarchical Model-View-Controller) architecture, easy to learn by beginner and intermediate level programmers.
• Strongly integrated with Zend Framework, DotKernel can be considered a PHP Enterprise Level Framework.

• PHP application framework
• DotKernel is an application framework; by default it has incorporated frontend, backend, rss and ajax modules, with each module structured on a MVC (model-view- controller ) pattern.
• The frontend has static pages and user dots (login, signup, update, forgot password) and backend-admin area has only user dots.
• As their name suggest, RSS is handling RSS feeds and AJAX module is handling all AJAX requests that doesn't have to pass through the frontend module.
