SimpleCork is a PHP framework that has been designed with the web developer in mind. Many frameworks exist today including CakePHP, ZendFramework, Symfony, and CodeIgniter but few, if any of those, allow a developer to use a single framework regardless of the project specifications and requirements.

Each framework is tailored towards a specific development style because it is nearly impossible to tailor a framework to suit every developer. However, here are Sprink we've done our best to make that a reality through SimpleCork.

SimpleCork is made of components, or classes, much like any other framework. The difference is that the core of SimpleCork is extremely lightweight and flexible and the heavier, less used components are left out of the core.

How Flexible is it?
Prefer normal PHP scripts over MVC? Sure! Is MVC your preference? We've got that too. How about a mix of both standard PHP scripts and MVC applications? YES!

The core is a lightweight structure to just barely get you off the ground no matter what kind of project you are working on. From there you can select additional components or write your own to piece together your own framework.

That's right - you can literally build your own PHP framework in just a few minutes with SimpleCork.

We'll keep you posted on the latest SimpleCork information right here on the Sprink blog.

]]> KillBugs http://getsprink.com/blog/2009/08/12/killbugs http://getsprink.com/blog/2009/08/12/killbugs August 12, 2009 Hello everyone!

In the process of working on SimpleCork, a straightforward PHP framework with a focus on debugging, we decided to take the debugging aspect a step further.

Introducing KillBugs. KillBugs is actually a standalone debugging system that you can integrate into any PHP development workflow.

The setup takes only a couple of minutes and can work side by side with your existing error logging and debugging mechanisms.

Even while developing the KillBugs application itself, we found it to be an invaluable tool for debugging.

We'll be releasing a trial Alpha version of the software within the next few days and hope to have a Beta trial out some time next week. Once the Beta is released, we'll post pricing information as well as some updates on some feature ideas we have in the works.

]]> Sprink Servers Performance Improves http://getsprink.com/blog/2010/01/03/sprink-servers-performance-improves http://getsprink.com/blog/2010/01/03/sprink-servers-performance-improves January 3, 2010 About mid-way through December we upgraded the Sprink servers (software and hardware). So far we have seen measurable improvements in the response times recorded by Pingdom, the monitoring service we use. Calculations based on recorded response times from all over the world show that our average server response times have improved by 50%. The speed improvements for individual websites are also apparent since your site's resources start to download faster.

 

Enjoy!
