maexus Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Learn a server-side programming language and program until you know what you're doing? Honestly, I think that's a little harsh. I think I'm very well versed in PHP but would have trouble designing an application platform. The most difficult thing in my mind is building an interpeter for the application scripting langauge. Unless you are allowing developers to use raw PHP for applications.

discomatt Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sorry for the harshness, but sadly following a tutorial is not going to give you the knowledge required to build a framework with it's own API. I've build a couple frameworks in my time programming, and each time I learned something new. You best bet is to set aside a lot of time, put yourself in the position of the person who is going to write applications for your framework, and design around that. You're going to scrap everything more than a few times, pull out your hair, and learn a lot about abstract programming in the process. The complexity will vary on the flexibility of the API. Personally, I start with application design. Figure out what you want to do with your framework before you start to build it.
