SkullPuppy

The SkullPuppy framework has an extensible architecture, perfect for the development, maintenance and deployment of medium-to-large scale PHP applications.

Using SkullPuppy reduces development costs and allows developers write less code while also spending more time on the application's actual content.

SkullPuppy can be used by Web developers writing database applications using PHP, programmers who want a more enjoyable experience writing applications or companies looking to sell or distribute their applications without requiring special deployment configurations.

The framework is also useful to teams as well. SkullPuppy can be used as a tool to ensure that team members will understand and work under a few simple conventions with their fellow peers.

By forcing SkullPuppy and its rules, teams work under the same guidelines and coding standards, ensuring a more cohesive and comprehensible coding experience amongst geographically-spread companies.
