| 14 | <p>PRADO is a component-based and event-driven framework for Web application |
|---|
| 15 | development in PHP 5. </p> |
|---|
| 16 | <p>Components following the PRADO protocol are highly configurable and reusable. |
|---|
| 17 | Properties defining the basic features of a component can be configured in specifications, |
|---|
| 18 | templates or code. New components can be developed by either inheriting an existing |
|---|
| 19 | component class or composing several components together. The work of using |
|---|
| 20 | a component amounts to placing the component tag on the page template, configuring |
|---|
| 21 | component properties, and writing handler functions to respond to component |
|---|
| 22 | events.</p> |
|---|
| 23 | <p>PRADO shares many similarities with ASP.NET and other RAD tools for Windows |
|---|
| 24 | GUI development, such as Borland Delphi. In particular, it supports event-driven |
|---|
| 25 | programming, viewstate maintenance, javascript, template, form validations, theme/skin, |
|---|
| 26 | etc.</p> |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
