Alpha is a lightweight PHP framework that aims to provide a minimal set of features to get projects started quickly. It uses the MVC pattern and other design patterns. The framework has interfaces, request handlers, tests and utility classes to support building applications. Applications built with Alpha have a structure with Controllers, Views, Models and custom connectors. The goal is to allow developers to start coding what matters fast with an easy to learn and use framework.

{ “One line of code” }Feb, 2015

3. the plan
{
; talk about the problem
; the idea
; and the concept
; showing the project structure
; then, we could show some code
; and if we finish with anyone in the room
; we can have Q&A
}

4. the problem
{
// Considering that often times we:
have a new project arriving..
need to start ASAP..
need to show something done..
need an API to power an app..
have so many tools available...
...with so many features that we will not use!
...and after a while, we can actually start doing the
stuff that matters!
}

5. the idea
{
// And if we aim to give a piece to the PHP
community that:
is easy to learn and easy to use
with the right amount of tools to a fresh start
that people can really participate...
...building cool features!
extensible and versatible
could build something with a “one line” concept...
...because what matters is doing things fast!
}

6. and we’ve just
started last
week... really!

7. so,the concept
{
alpha is intended to be:
a lightweight open source PHP framework
using MVC Pattern and a lot of other patterns!
delivered with minimal set of features, ready to
start:
. data binding
. view processor
. storage connector
...
}

8. project structure
{
[alpha]
...with all the interfaces,
request handlers, tests,
utilitary classes..
[webapp]
...where your app is born! with:
Controllers, Views, Models and
Custom Connectors
}

9. one line controller

10. one line view

11. one line model
