Announcing Aspen Framework 1.0
We are pleased to announce the first public version of the Aspen framework - a modular php framework for websites and web-based applications.
Aspen was designed to eliminate the routine and tedious work when building a web application. Well-known features from other frameworks - database abstraction, caching, validating, url handling, and scaffolding - are simply the beginning. Aspen goes above and beyond expectations with built-in features like powerful html filtering, strong security measurements, easy mysql query generation, system and error logging, language file support, user authentication, form handling, customizable installation/upgrade process, and more!
Aspen is extremely flexible and customizable so that it fits anything from a simple dynamic website to a redistributable web-based application, and it has been used in all of those scenarios by the development team behind it. It’s even easy to include the entire framework and libraries in existing pages, without porting everything over.
Go ahead and get started by downloading Aspen, and then head over to our documentation to read the introduction tutorial. Any and all discussion (comments, troubleshooting, issues) should be submitted to our Google discussion group.
