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

"  It is DotBoost Technologies way of giving back
to the open source community,
its way of advancing the art of PHP.  "

  • 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.
