Qcodo Framework is not dead. This great framework development was virtually halted for several months. Now it changes its course to community development in a brand new name, QCubed. The QCubed is quite compatible with the old controls developed by QCodo users. It contains some major core improvements over the last Qcodo stable release.
QCubed is currently in version 1.0 RC2. You can download it directly from http://www.qcu.be.
I assume that you have no Apache/PHP/MySQL installation in your computer. The server stack that I will use is XAMPP from ApacheFriends.org. This server installation refers to Windows only. If you use Linux and Mac, you can find the installation details on the apachefriends website. If you already have configured web server, you can jump directly to step number 3.
The general step to install PHP and Qcodo:
1. First download the XAMPP for Windows (exe version) in the apachefriends website here.
2. Double click the downloaded file to install the application. Please follow the instructions or you can find XAMPP installation instruction for more details.
3. Now download Qcodo framework in their website here.
4. Extract the zip file into one of subfolder in your htdocs. For more information can be found in the original qcodo installation here.
This tutorial series will continue in another topic: How to configure Qcodo in XAMPP.
