Roetal.com is now powered by a3gFramework!
a3gFramework is a PHP framework that provides native support for REST and MVC architectures. MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture is supported by all frameworks currently available, the real beauty about a3gFw is the native support for REST.
Without entering too deeply in technical details and terminology, what we can say about this is that applications created with a3gFw can not only consume REST Web services, but also writing REST Web services is as easy as it can get. This is one of the reasons that we are betting on this technology.
But the real important question is: how is this good for our customers?
Having a Web site capable of sharing content opens a world of opportunities for growth. Take the following situations as examples:
Case I: On-line store
If you sell products on-line, you could have a Web service to share with everybody or only with your customers your updated catalog: products, prices, special offers, etc.
No more e-mails, no more outdated prices... information is made available instantly as you update it from your administration back-end at your Web site.
Case II: Financial services
Do you have customers that rely on a list of currency exchange rates you provide to them?. If you send this information by e-mail your customers have to manually copy and paste each conversion rate to their software.
With a Web service all this manual and error prone task would be automated: no more emails, no more copy/paste errors.
Systems interconnection is everything but new, we see it daily everywhere; but it had never been easier to implement. If you think that this is for big companies only, you are up for a very nice surprise.
