It is an open-source lightweight web application framework based on object-oriented PHP 5, MySQL, and XSLT. It is fully object-oriented and designed following the MVC architecture and REST design principles. The idea behind it is not to reinvent the wheel but instead to combine existing and proven technologies in a convenient and effective way.

The DIY Framework is a compact class library which can be extended and included by user applications. It puts few restrictions and gives flexibility. In contrast, most of the current web application frameworks are designed inside-out: they define the general structure and only allow your application to fit within their constraints.

For the same reasons, the framework does not contain plugins, scaffolding, routing, AJAX, widgets or other buzzwords. We see them as helper applications at best, not as parts of the framework itself. No frills are included (hence the name) — just precise control over your sever-side code.

Piwigo is an open source photo gallery system built with PHP & MySQL.

It is more a photo portal software as new users can register to the system & according to their permission levels, they can add more photos, comment & more.

Piwigo is very flexible in means of adding photos to the system. They can be added via pLoader (the remote client of Piwigo), mass uploading by FTP or the application can call them from any other servers transparently.

With the unlimited category-levels support, images can be organized easily. And, with the ability of tagging them, it just gets better.

A great feature is chronology. Piwigo reads EXIF data, understands when an image is taken & shows them in a chronologic order.

The application has also multilanguage support, can produce pretty URLs & an API makes integrations with any 3rd party applications possible.

Glimmer is a desktop application that makes jQuery accesible from a visual tool & generates the jQuery code, XHTML and CSS.

If jQuery is the “write less, do more” JavaScript library, then Glimmer is the “write none, do more” jQuery design tool.

Currently, Glimmer has 8 built-in effects that can be combined with wizards like:

• image sequencing
• customized tooltips
• drop-down menus
• custom animations

It is also extensible. Anyone can write new wizards and effects to improve the application.

Although it looks like a perfect fit to power-users & designers as they generally don’t prefer to code JavaScript, Glimmer is also handy for developers for creating the base-code faster & improving it later on.
