Symfony
We’ve chosen Symfony because of numerous reasons. It’s hard to list them all, but we’ll try. Currently Symfony is the most robust and community driven framework in PHP world. It takes all bleeding edge features available in PHP. It’s well documented, maintained and supported by community developers all over the world.
PHP
Language that has long Web history. It supports full stack of technologies used for communication in the Internet between different applications. And it allows us to develop fast robust RIA software. Taking into account big leaps done with latests versions, there is no doubt in our choice.
Open Source
Diamante Desk respects Open Source ideology. We want build our product as Open Source project. Our team took part in other big Open Source projects before and willing to continue contribute to such wonderful world.
Oro Platform
Nowadays building software from scratch without using frameworks looks quite inefficient. This way you’ll be solving everyday problems which were solved already. So our choice was Oro Platform built utilizing popular technologies in PHP such as Symfony, Doctrine and it allows us to focus on building enterprise level application with speed which wasn’t seen anytime before.
Twitter Bootstrap
Building an Open Source project based on frameworks is de facto standard nowadays. It’s something that decreases learning curve and increases community around your project dramatically. So choice of Twitter Bootstrap was obvious, because it gives ease of development and it’s quite remarkable.
HTML5 & CSS3
HTML5 and CSS3 provide us cleaner code, better interactions (more possibilities to make websites more dynamic and enjoyable for users), mobile friendly and cross browser support (better ranking of websites by search engines like Google).
