A simple description

P4A is a PHP framework, a software containing libraries, modules and widgets used to build applications that will be used with a web browser connected to the net.

With P4A you’ll be able to develop web applications writing code as you would do with the most evolved rapid development tools. The result will be an application that the user will use with the same feeling that he would have with a classical client application.

You won’t have to worry about creating the graphic interface for your projects because P4A has a nice and client graphic theme.
