Finally, Opendelight is out! Also, people have started to download the framework and have use it.
I would like give a brief about the journey from ash.MVC to Opendelight. ash.MVC was being used by many people just because it is simple and no learning was needed. However, it did not have any native library, no scaffolding tool, etc. On the other hand, the frameworks having such features are complex to handle and have a stiff learning curve. I thought of going in a different direction.
I wanted to provide all important features into the new framework, and even a tool to develop application within. However, I tried to go a bit ahead by including management of user access privilege and security aspects within the framework automatically so that developer does not need to be worried. Thus Opendelight was born.
Opendelight works in a minimal architectural prescription where three objects (database, application and user) interact to provide the basic application structure for the developer. Developer is supposed to focus only on user interface and business logic rather than building libraries or even using libraries for access privileges and security management. The central pattern used for the new framework remains the same – Model-View-Controller (MVC).
We have provided comprehensive documentation for the framework both online and as PDF download on the website http://www.adiipl.com/opendelight. The framework along with IDE (Integrated Development Framework) is available on the website free. Afterall, it is opensource!
Thanks – Ashwini

Einstein once said – Any fool can make something that is darn complicated. It takes a genius to make a complicated thing look very simple. Good luck!!!!!!!
