Arcos is a rapid development framework for producing large database driven websites in a short timescale by plugging together existing PHP code components.
A large collection of plug-able components take care of repetitive and code intensive tasks that you will encounter when programming any large website in PHP. Tasks like form validation, interfacing with the database, handling file uploads and multi-level password based security systems which require extensive attention to detail are each handled by a set of small and reliable components. This extensive re-use of already written code makes development fast and uncomplicated.
Each of the components used by Arcos is thoroughly tested and proven to be reliable. Improvements that are made to a component are automatically reflected in the sites that use that component.
Each website is specified by an XML document that defines a consistent framework for fitting the code components together. The XML defines what the website should do and not how it should do it. Arcos takes the XML definition and automatically generates PHP scripts by calling the specified components. It is therefore not necessary to write even a single line of PHP code to create a complete website.
On the demonstration day you will see our developers using Arcos to develop a new website from scratch in under an hour complete with:
- a multi-level security system
- full search facilities for all data tables
- full access for selected users to delete, add and modify all records
- automatically generated graphical templates for the whole site
- fully editable content for the whole site
Kusala Web Developments are dedicated to developer support and we will be running regular user group meetings for all users of Arcos where you can help us develop the software to meet your needs.
