PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is now installed on more than 244 million websites and 2.1 million web servers. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, the reference implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group.
Technology
Our core technology background covers PHP and Drupal CMS. We were developing applications using many technologies around. That covers different operating systems: Linux, Windows, databases: MySQL, MS SQL, and many front-end technologies. Below are the main significant technologies:
PHP
HTML 5
HTML5 is a markup language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard and, as of December 2012, is a W3C Candidate Recommendation. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.).
jQuery
jQuery is a multi-browser JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. It was released in January 2006 at BarCamp NYC by John Resig. It is currently developed by a team of developers led by Dave Methvin. Used by over 65% of the 10,000 most visited websites, jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today.
jQuery is free, open source software, licensed under the MIT License. jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications.
Greensock
Animating with code may seem intimidating at first, but don’t worry – the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) was engineered to make it simple and intuitive. The platform is also highly optimized for performance and unprecedented flexibility.
MySQL
Open source relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. It is named after co-founder Michael Widenius' daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.
CSS 3
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Using third version we can get the best from visual effects and keep the site light and fast.
Drupal
Drupal is a free software package that allows you to easily organize, manage and publish your content, with an endless variety of customization. Drupal is a cutting-edge platform that supports the latest technologies that the Web has to offer.
Debian Linux
Open source operating system, that we use in our servers. Stable and secure is the solid groud to build sophisticated web based applications. We are using Debian distribution, usually with branch of web components: Apache or Lighttpd webserver, MySQL database and PHP interpretator.
Xen
Xen is a virtualization technology that allow multiple computer operating systems to execute on the same computer (server) hardware in the same time. To increase our programming efficiency and prepare the best configuration we work on software solutions on dedicated virtualized machines.
Drupal 8
The newest, not released yet version of Drupal CMS. It uses Symphony 2 for its core and bunch of open source technologies and frameworks. We are going ahead and we will introduce Drupal 8 when it is officially ready.
Git
Git is a distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) system with an emphasis on speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. We use it with a bunch of tools to control the source code among distributed systems.
960 grid system
The 960 Grid System is an effort to streamline web development workflow by providing commonly used dimensions, based on a width of 960 pixels. There are two variants: 12 and 16 columns, which can be used separately or in tandem. We use it as an canvas to prototype mobile and desktop design.
Sass
Sass is the most mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language. Sass is an extension of CSS that adds power and elegance to the basic language. It allows you to use variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, and more, all with a fully CSS-compatible syntax. Sass helps keep large stylesheets well-organized, and get small stylesheets up and running quickly.
JIRA
Everybody knows what JIRA is :) JIRA is the tracker for teams planning and building products. JIRA captures and organizes team's issues, prioritize and take action on what's important, and stay up to date with what's going on around. We are using it to track and organize office and development work.
