dt_lib5
Introduction
The Development Temple Open Source php5 library (dt_lib5) is a loosely coupled, component based library written in php5 by Development Temple. dt_lib5 is free open source code, intended for use in the development of web based applications. dt_lib5 is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
dt_lib5 is not a framework in itself - it is a low level library for building frameworks, applications, or anything else you wish to build using php5. dt_lib5 was designed for performance and extensibility while retaining the native php language conventions and interfaces. To support these goals dt_lib5 modules tend to be small and simple with the intention that functionality which is not appropriate in a low level reusable application library should be built into other application layers such as [dt_lib5 Extensions].
dt_lib5 documentation intends to be utilitarian and provide everything you need to know to install and begin working with dt_lib5 modules. For this reason documentation may not enough to fully grasp the design concepts and contracts built into a given module. The dt_lib5 tutorials are highly recommended for anyone who wants to fully understand the architecture of a dt_lib5 module.
dt_lib5 is designed and built by php programmers who like to build applications in php. We do not intend to write an abstraction for php and as such the dt_lib5 methodologies will leverage your ability as an application architect and php programmer more than most comparable tools.
Use dt_lib5 in combination with [dt_lib5 Extensions] and [DT Site Starter] for rapid development of a project framework.
