PRADO is a component-based and event-driven framework for Web application - development in PHP 5.

-

Components following the PRADO protocol are highly configurable and reusable. - Properties defining the basic features of a component can be configured in specifications, - templates or code. New components can be developed by either inheriting an existing - component class or composing several components together. The work of using - a component amounts to placing the component tag on the page template, configuring - component properties, and writing handler functions to respond to component - events.

-

PRADO shares many similarities with ASP.NET and other RAD tools for Windows - GUI development, such as Borland Delphi. In particular, it supports event-driven - programming, viewstate maintenance, javascript, template, form validations, theme/skin, - etc.

+PRADO is a component-based and event-driven framework for Web application development in PHP 5. +

+

+PRADO is best suitable for creating Web applications that are highly user-interactive. It can be used to develop systems as simple as a blog system to those as complex as a content management system (CMS) or a complete e-commerce solution. Because PRADO promotes object-oriented programming (OOP) through its component-based methodology, it fits extremely well for team work and enterprise development. Its event-driven programming pattern helps developers gain better focus on business logic rather than distracted by various tedious and repetitive low-level coding handling. +

+

+PRADO comes with many features that can cut down development time signficantly. In particular, it provides a rich set of pluggable Web controls, complete database support including both active record and complex object mapper, seamless AJAX support, theme and skin, internationalization and localization, various caching solutions, security measures, and many other features that are seldom find in other programming frameworks. +

+

+Developers who have sufficient OOP experience will find PRADO is easy to learn and understand. In fact, PRADO shares many similarities with ASP.NET and other RAD kits for Windows GUI development, such as Borland Delphi and Microsoft Visual Basic. +
