COMTOR Technologies

COMTOR is built upon several popular open (and/or free) technologies. These include the following (descriptions from respective web sites): =Back-End=
 * Java - Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy Java applications on desktops and servers, as well as in today's demanding embedded environments. Java offers the rich user interface, performance, versatility, portability, and security that today’s applications require.
 * Javadoc - Javadoc is a tool for generating API documentation in HTML format from doc comments in source code. It can be downloaded only as part of the Java 2 SDK. To see documentation generated by the Javadoc tool, go to J2SE 1.6.0 API Documentation.
 * Of particular importance is how Javadoc works. The tool documentation page is particularly useful. Note especially the source files Javadoc uses!
 * MySQL - MySQL is the world's most popular open source database. Whether you are a fast growing web property, technology ISV or large enterprise, MySQL can cost-effectively help you deliver high performance, scalable database applications.

=Front-End (User Interface)=
 * PHP - PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section.
 * Smarty - Smarty is a template engine for PHP, facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. This implies that PHP code is application logic, and is separated from the presentation.

=Other=
 * Git - Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
