Tabapad 2

PHP Framework

Tabapad says: "Hello World" 00:00:00

Tabapad 2 represents a complete and fundamental redesign of the original Tabapad framework.

The use of AI models, motivated me

Today's AI models have greatly helped me move forward in the development of this framework, with the speed of light. I have rebuilt it from the ground up with a stronger focus on architecture, maintainability, scalability, and professional development practices.

A totally new design

Tabapad Version 2 introduces a clean and well-structured MVC architecture. It separates routes, services, libraries, models, and views, helping keep business logic out of controllers and making applications cleaner, more scalable, and easier to maintain and test.
