Lolypop – My New RAD Framework for Joomla Apps

I have been busy and yes very busy with Lolypop – My New Rapid Application Development Framework for Joomla Apps. Joomla is easy to tame because of its MVC framework but it involves many repetitive task and it can create slag in development. Create similar models, similar controllers and similar views for every other task or forms, it is cumbersome , yes it is painful. What if we can add few features to existing framework, what if we can remove these repetitive tasks and code, what if our app was smart enough to decide what is best for its execution. And these what if..s gave birth to Lolypop.
But why I named it Lolypop? Because I love lolypop, everyone loves Lolypop, You can choose between flavors though. Lolypop reduces repetitive tasks, and provides you the way to manage your codes and ofcourse provides you different APIs from Upload API with thumbnailing to Event based Addon system to Google Visualization API to Amazon Web service API.
It is still in development and from today my new apps will be created using Lolypop. Lolypop is still for me only but
I will release the source codes and development status soon for public to participate.

I hope it will be useful to humanity. Cheers
