Goals

For many years my work has been:  get an horrible "powerpoint brief" from a client or an overpaid project manager.. and do the rest. "The rest" is: Analysis, Design and Development of a web application.

Rapyd is a way to standardize Backends/GUI and be "rapid" in development of  Data-Presentation and Data-Editing structures.

main goals:

- be stand-alone as a framework but flexible and unobtrusive like a library

- support for at least one/two MVC frameworks (we choose CodeIgniter and Kohanaphp)

- widget oriented architecture (grids, forms, tables, etc..)

- be smart,  few files, clean filesystem

- include just few (and tiny) third party libs (nicEdit,jquery,some jquery plugin)
