A Rapid Prototyping PHP5 framework that is originally a fork of the Qcodo framework.

The goal of the framework is to provide a unique alternative to other frameworks available, by making different architectural decisions. The two major pieces of the QCubed framework are the ORM layer and the GUI layer. Each layer plays a separate and unique role, and is designed to be able to operate independently of the other.

    We use QCubed to build our enterprise level LMS, and have been very happy with it. The code generation saved hundreds of hours of hand-coding while still providing us the ability to customize the data objects to meet our application's needs. The QForm approach of having objects represent the GUI elements and events triggered by user interactions is a paradigm that's very easy to understand, and work with. The entire framework is strictly PHP, and very OO centric. This is fantastic if you know your OO PHP, but provides a steep learning curve otherwise. Support in the form of forums and community involvement is great, but the documentation is currently lackluster, and 3rd part sites relating to it are pretty much non-existant due to it's relative obscurity. I know both of these are something the community is working on. -- VexedPanda, core contributer to QCubed

    I am developing an online application for swimmers which is very data centric. I looked at zend, codeigniter and cake but have decided to use QCubed as I have some experience with qcodo and it is a good framework to use for data centric applications.

    I have used QCodo for a few projects mostly because of its rapid prototyping capabilities. Now I am using the community driven fork, QCubed. It has finally reached a stable status and work has begun on v1.1 with jQuery and a new default directory structure. I appreciate its pure object-oriented PHP approach and its flexibility in this regard.
