Read through a brief overview of ProdigyView. The framework that is used to build other frameworks

2. Why?
With so many frameworks out there, there is the obvious question of “Why
Make Another One?”. I am not going to say any names, but if you have used
several frameworks, you probably can empathize with some of these
difficulties.
1. Learning Curve: Some frameworks have huge learning curves. Whether
its lack of documentation, no code examples, the code becomes
extremely complex or all 3 of them, some frameworks are hard to learn
and time consuming.
2. Predefined Structure: Some „frameworks‟ trap a developer into using
their structure and make it hard to break out that structure, especially
when integrating with other models. Example: A framework requires that
everything be used in an MVC setting.
3. Unnecessarily Large: Lots of capabilities and tools is nice. 20, 30, 40
megabytes(and heaven forbid more) just becomes overkill and the
framework might need some refactoring.
4. No, bad or old coding standards: Have you ever read through code
and became nauseous followed by a bad headache? Not all code is
poetry.

3. Because……
With all the Why‟s being said, now it‟s time for the because. Keep in
mind the ProdigyView is no where near perfect, but address certain
issues.
1. Easy Learning Curve: Through clear code, examples to play
around with and short and simple tutorials, ProdigyView was
designed to get you up and running in no time.
2. No Predefined Structure: Using ProdigyView as an MVC, CMS or
other structure is up to the developer. But all the code has the
ability to run in a standalone mode.
3. Manageable Size: ProdigyView is around 2 megabytes of code
that has full documentation in the code. As a developer, you can
choose what tools you want to use that best address the problem.
4. Coding Standards: Throughout the code, we try to hold to a
coding standard with readability and understanding being the
biggest points of focus. We also use modern concepts with object
and aspect oriented design.

4. What is ProdigyView
“So you gave us this long winded explanation on why
ProdigyView was made but what exactly is it?”
ProdigyView PHP 5.3 + framework that utilizes advanced
programming concepts to achieve better code, faster.
ProdigyView is the ground work for creating a MVCs, content
management systems, and other types of web applications.
ProdigyView is the framework that builds frameworks.

5. ProdigyView – What It Can Be

Web Static
MVC CMS
Application Websites

6. Design Patterns
If you are deeply involved in programming, then you will probably
enjoy utilizing the design patterns implemented in ProdigyView.
Understanding how to implement these are the „Keys to the Kingdom‟
and will take development to higher level turning out robust
applications with ease and speed.
Native Design Pattern Extended Design Patterns
Observers Front End Controller
Chain of Responsibility Model View Controller
Adapters/Strategy Helper Object
Intercepting Filters
Singleton
Active Record

7. Database Driven vs Design
Driven
What do I mean database driven vs design driven?
I am referring to when execution of the code is determined by
data in the database versus execution determined by code as an
addition to the code base.
ProdigyView has great support for both through design patterns,
plugins, applications, built-in cms, etc.
Database Driven Design Driven

 Plugins  Observers
 Modules  Adapters
 Pages  Chain of

8. Coupling and Programming
Paradigms
Coupling
For those hard core developers, ProdigyView has both
loose coupling and tight coupling. The kind of coupling
used is entirely up to you.
Programming Paradigms
Programming paradigms may sound like some deep
programming concept but I am only referring to object
oriented programming and aspect oriented programing.
One of the goals of ProdigyView is to go beyond OOP by
implementing AOP.

9. Applications and Plugins
Applications and Plugins are features in ProdigyView that
provide additional functionality and are managed by the
database.
Plug-ins
Applications
 Do not have to be object
 Object Oriented
oriented
 Called and used only when
 Are persistent through the
needed
entire execution of the code
 Use their own libraries(
 Easy to implement and turn
Jquery, Prototype, CSS, etc)
