Last night I finally published version 2.0 of Atomik Framework. It is a complete rewrite of previous versions but, unfortunately, not compatible. It has now an object oriented design and a much greater plugin system. It still fit into one script of 30Kb but it now only contains the core. All additional features are now provided as plugins.

Atomik has now its official website, http://www.atomikframework.com, where you can download the latest version and read the documentation. A plugins repository should soon be added.

Features kept from previous versions (however rewritten):

  • Actions and templates
  • Event driven
  • The package system now renamed plugins
  • Pretty URLs

New features:

  • Only one class: Atomik
  • More events
  • Accessors (get/set/has/delete to access a global store)
  • Selectors (idea coming from javascript frameworks)
  • New directory structure
  • Actions and templates have now their own scope
  • Much cleaner and better API
  • More comments
  • New coding standards (borrowed from Zend Framework)
  • New way for plugins development
  • New plugins

You can learn more by reading the manual available on the website: http://www.atomikframework.com/doc/manual

Roadmap:

  • Plugins documentation
  • Plugins repository
  • Atomik Backend (work in progress, available in the trunk from the svn repository)

You can submit bug reports and ideas on the Google code website: http://code.google.com/p/atomikframework

For new readers, One week on the web was my weekly wrap up of all things I read in the week. I did not have a lot of time to post the last month so it was a bit dead. Now it is officialy dead!

It is now replaced with my Google reader shared items in the sidebar. Thus, it is continually updated and give me more time for other things.

Today is a big shift for my blog as it will now be in English. The reason is I don’t want to be limited by the language and that I’m moving to Canada next year, where English will be more appreciated.
Also comes with this shift a new theme from Fen.

For French readers:

Aujourd’hui grand changement sur le blog: à partir de maintenant tout sera en anglais! La raison est que je ne veux pas être limité par la langue et que je pars au Canda l’an prochain, où l’anglais sera plus de rigueur.
Au passage, un nouveau thème par Fen!
