TYPO3 FLOW is a web application platform enabling developers creating excell ent web solutions and bring back the joy of coding.

It gives you fast results. It is a reliable foundation for complex applications. And it is backed by one of the biggest PHP communities.

TYPO3 FLOW 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 it's home field. Real business logic is left to custom packages.

Whenever possible, TYPO3 FLOW analyzes your code for choosing the right configuration for you. Clear conventions and an intuitive API let you concentrate on the essential parts of your application. After all you want to write PHP and not XML, YAML, INI, don't you?

Well-proven concepts from various frameworks, applications and programming languages were considered for the design of TYPO3 FLOW. Techniques like Dependency Injection and Aspect-Oriented Programming open up new ways of developing PHP applications. But instead of just copying other solutions, the concepts have been carefully adapted to fit the "TYPO3 FLOW feeling".

TYPO3 FLOW was created as the foundation of the next generation TYPO3 CMS. Applications based on TYPO3 FLOW can be used as a plugin in TYPO3 or serve as standalone solutions, completely independent from the CMS. By using TYPO3 FLOW as an application platform, you get a CMS on top!
