The document outlines the development of an online education platform within 6 months using PHP Symfony and Angular JS. It discusses the business requirements to develop a community for social engagement between students and parents, connect stakeholders, and support hundreds of thousands of users. It describes Expedux's approach using a 3-phased Pilot-Engage-Transform model to develop a scalable architecture, necessary modules, and full-featured community portal within the 4 month timeframe using PHP, Symfony, Angular JS, and other technologies. The engagement enabled an accessible online education community and Continuous Integration methodology.

After evaluating the entire scope of the work,
Expedux recommended 3 phased PET (Pilot En-
gage and Transform) approach for the overall
development to go-live.
Pilot Phase:
• Validated all possible open source technologies
and decided to go with PHP as a core technology,
Symfony as core framework and Angular JS as front
end
• Developed an overall architecture framework
that was scalable and robust
• Identified the necessity of building custom
frameworks and plugins and aligned it with the
overall development strategy
Engagement Phase:
• Developed Kids management, care taker
management, group management and event
management modules
• Enabled parents to create profile, specify
preferences, get tips, manage their kids and
finding right activities for kids
Transformation Phase
• Developed scheduled events and event
organiser modules using SOA concept to
support multiple applications.
• Implemented full blown online education
event community portal with E-mail and SMS
notifications from scratch using a custom MVC
framework
• Developed the Mobile App using Phone gap and
ionic framework
Technology Stack:
Core:
• Symfony2, Composer, PHP5, AWS
Front End
• Angularjs, HTML5, Phonegap
