binarycloud is a PHP web application framework created by turing studio and open sourced in December 2000. I joined the project in early 2001 and soon became on of the core committers working on the second installment of the framework.
The stack sported classes for request/response, sessions, URL dispatcher, plug-able template engine and database query manager, form handling libraries, loosely coupled modules, components, and a build system.
My part was mostly:
- working on core classes
- the build system (the thing that spawned Phing)
- community responsibilities
Version 2 of binarycloud has been successfully used in production of many sites but was never officially released. Version 3 was a complete re-write and relied heavily on XML definitions. Busy with Phing, I did not actively participate on r3 development.
My work on binarycloud also spawned minor contributions to Metabase. Check the sidebar to download binarycloud1.
