RECESS! A PHP Framework that makes development child’s play…

Your next project awaits and success sits on the other side of the hill. What framework will you choose? Recess may be smaller than others. It may be younger than others. Yet this crafty, little framework has the will to help you surmount your next project while enjoying the ride. Recess thinks it can. It thinks it can…

When I first checked out this framework, it seemed so easy use,  too easy, way too easy… To be quite frank Recess makes php development child’s play, I could see the purist “oh well this is not a really a framework” and all the other bull they love to spew .

1. First thing you do is check out the 1 miniute screencast they have on the site http://www.recessframework.org/,
2. Next download the framework extract the zip and drop it into your web server directory.
3. Now go to the install folder http://localhost/recess/ (local dev), once everything is ok you will see the welcome screen, click on Recess Tools link you will be taken to the RECECC TOOLS page “Apps, Database, Code, Routes”.
4. Now lets start developing, click on the Apps link you will be taken to the apps page and you should see your current apps.
5. Click on the Start a New Application link, now the fun begins
6. Step 1. Enter the name of apps 2. Enter the url prefix (http://localhost/recess/app_name/) 3. Click next and KABOOM the application is created.
7. LAST STEP: ACTIVATE THE APPLICATION look at the bottom of the new application page follow the instructions and copy the 1 line code with the <– ADD THIS LINE code to the your recess-conf.php file in the install directory (http://localhost/recess/recess-conf.php) around line 17.

   RecessConf::$applications
   	= array(	'recess.apps.tools.RecessToolsApplication',
   				'welcome.WelcomeApplication',
   				'blog.BlogApplication',
   				'myapp.MyappApplication',
   			);

8. Click on your app name link in this line Did you add that line? Great! Have fun building YourAppName!

That is it folks I really wish that there was more to it so I could sound really smart, but that is all it takes to create an application in recess.
