Introducing +Bento January 17, 2012

+Bento is most accurately described as three frameworks in one. A PHP Framework (+Bento), a Javascript Framework (Mootools), and a CSS Framework (Twitter's Bootstrap).

It is the culmination of six years of work in custom web application development. And today I'm releasing it as an open source project.

The aim of +Bento is to save a developer time when building custom applications. Beyond the code standards, +Bento is built for your wallet. The more time you save, the more money you make.

+Bento has been road tested as a complete and stable package over the past few months.

It is important to note, that +Bento is not a replacement for popular Content Management Systems, like Joomla, Wordpress, or Drupal. It is purpose-built for serious developers building custom web applications.

If you have any questions, please feel free to Contact me.
