Not yet released, FLOW3 starts making noises on the mass: what’s TYPO3 up to?

As a result of the already proven TYPO3 CMS, the upcoming 5th version of the system is bringing a solid PHP framework, which can be used apart from the whole system for developing applications of any kind.

The FLOW3 subsite stats, against what’s commonly seen out there, FLOW3 is not a pick’n'mix store of motley components. It’s a framework which helps you with the infrastructure of your application. Object Lifecycle Management, Package Management, Resource Management and Security are on his home field. Real business logic is left over to third-party packages.

All the most common features we can find in other PHP frameworks are going to be provided by FLOW3, like MVC architecture, Validation, Filters, Persistence Object Manager and much more.

Next week, I’ll post a getting started with a simple application and provide my personal review of this framework, which – OMHO – is going to rock!
