Technically

RIA Framework

EyeOS is not only a web desktop with its own valuable applications; it has been designed from the beginning to enable easy development and creation of new applications. EyeOS 2.0 is the perfect development framework for quick and easy creation of rich Internet applications. It has been completely developed with open technology and widely accepted standards such as PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Qooxdoo, log4php, PHPUnit, OpenOffice and others, enabling the system to function on a common web server without any modifications, and using any standard browser without any additional plug-ins installed.

Open Source

It is simple to access the EyeOS code, because it follows an open development model with a public SVN, version control system, which tracks the development of the project. Furthermore, all of the EyeOs code is documented so that you can start using it from day one.

Develop Easily

Learning to program in EyeOs is quick and easy. And once it is done, you don’t have to worry about the system at all! Thus, it is very easy to create an application. EyeOs has been designed as a totally extensible system so that anyone can create an application using PHP and JavaScript and integrate it into the system. Its free software model and free license mean that the software can be adapted without problems.

 

Features

The desktop

eyeOS has rethought the concept of a web desktop. Instead of showing a lot of icons on a wallpaper, we’ve decided to use the desktop to display the most useful information for the user. The new base screen is now a series of widgets with the most important information about your session and personal information, to help you increase your productivity.

The base applications

eyeOS comes by default with applications to create and work with Office files (with a word processor and a spreadsheet program), calendar, diary, email (with POP3/IMAP support) and much more. EyeOs aims to be a great stable suite for comfortable online work, both individually and with other users simultaneously.

Better, easier developments

Making eyeOs 2.0 applications is easier than ever. The GUI (graphical user interface) is completely implemented in JavaScript, and the system is based on OOP (object-oriented programming) and can be expanded or modified by adding classes and methods. The new store methods (GenericDao) allow you to save and retrieve data from the database transparently: it is not necessary to know SQL. Creating RIA (rich Internet applications) is easy and fast. Now eyeOS is a framework that combines JavaScript and PHP: there is no quicker and easier way to create a RIA.

Collaborative work

eyeOs 2.0 has been designed as a much more social desktop. The new version introduces new, easy and intuitive ways to share files, calendars and more between users and groups.
