15<p>PRADO is a component-based  and event-driven framework for Web application
16  development in PHP 5. </p>
17<p>Components following the PRADO protocol are highly configurable and reusable.
18  Properties defining the basic features of a component can be configured in specifications,
19  templates or code. New components can be developed by either inheriting an existing
20  component class or composing several components together. The work of using
21  a component amounts to placing the component tag on the page template, configuring
22  component properties, and writing handler functions to respond to component
23  events.</p>
24<p>PRADO shares many similarities with ASP.NET and other RAD tools for Windows
25  GUI development, such as Borland Delphi. In particular, it supports event-driven
26  programming, viewstate maintenance, javascript, template, form validations, theme/skin,
27  etc.</p>
