Information
Open Power Libraries is a project of creating a series of creative open-source libraries for PHP5/PHP6 that allow to solve typical (and rare) problems that may occur during the website creation. Their goals are:
- Clever design - in order to make the library really useful, it must not be just a set of functions that work in two, three cases and fail in any else.
- The KISS rule - we assume that simple things must stay simple.
- The DRY rule - the programmer does not have to repeat the same thing many times, especially an obvious thing.
- Performance - the libraries must be relatively light in common use and should not waste resources.
The first project of the series is the template engine called “Open Power Template”, already known to many programmers. Currently we are rewriting it from scratch to eliminate the design mistakes and of previous versions and to make it our goal-compliant. We are also starting another two projects: a complex form processing tool “Open Power Forms” and a set of various utility classes “Open Power Classes”.
