Initializer

So, I've always dreamed of creating a simple, initial setup type of framework that runs procedurally. It doesn't mean that you can't add OOP, but the initial structure is procedural. It's faster, and it forces you to document your design, which seems to be a lost art nowadays.

A lot of OOP fans might hate me for this because their style is to do everything OOP, but think of the overhead of complex applications. This framework is intended to go back to the basics. It's all in the design and code layout, and of course what makes this a framework is its strong dependency on clean, sharp, well structured code. I will post some examples when I think the code is ready.


I will also be working on a basic CMS sort of system based on this framework that will help the initial setup even more. jQuery, jQuery UI, fancybox, and other tools will be set by default in this system. All you need to do is provide the content and style the pages. Again, every other CMS can do that, but this one is probably the MOST lightweight of all.
