First of all, I have redesigned this site to this clean look. Clean being keyword here, I removed pretty much everything. That includes Live-Comments - but they will be back whenever I get the time… I used the motto “If you dont got it, dont show it” and then removed everything - nice, huh? No, I suck at designs so if I were to stand a chance of doing something that didnt suck I had to remove everything that dealt with design… So clean is what you end up with…
And now for the much more important fact. I’m pushing the first public preview of my new PHP MVC OOP Framework (phew, thats a lot of acronyms) to.. the public. So go checkout my Pundit page. The framework will be released under the GPL whenever I feel like its ready for it. Right now you’ll just have to look at the code-examples and hopefully drowl. Its inspired by, well, pretty much every new MVC framework out there - from Ruby on Rails to Zend Framework. The framework it resemples the most would be ZF, but rest assured I have copied no code whatsoever. Every single line of the current 3.000 lines of code was written by me.
And why am I doing a framework I might here you say? Well, it is to serve as a background for my UniteIT project. The early root of the framework can be traced back to my early CMS called CON3, from there it evolved to a pseudo-standalone framework for the first draft of the new UniteIT. But then it struck me that I prolly wanted to reuse the framework for later use, so I started removing the code, tidying it up and branding it as Pundit.
Why am I calling it Pundit you might ask? (I seem to hear alot of questions from my readers, huh?). Well for new the explanation is this:
It started out as being PHP and UniteIT in one word, but then D started complaining for being left out (D is always a lonely letter who wants to be where the action is).
Then you have PHPUniteITD - that’s _not_ a cool name, and E really wanted to go home to his new-found wife € (they make such handsome children). IT couldn’t be two places at once and HP was removed due to copyright issues.
Then you are left with Pundit. Ohh, and it rhymes with Bandit, and we like bandits..
Or maybe I just felt like it was a cool name to begin with - we will never know…
