DESCRIPTION
redCORE is a RAD Layered abstraction layer that focuses on development of complex extensions. With a built-in toolset featuring the most powerful and fastest extension, data multi-language system, and its newest HAL / WSDL / oAuth drivers, redCORE is becoming a Swiss Army knife for developing powerful and demanding Joomla extensions. Save time for the developer, so the focus becomes adding value on the business logic and not in reinventing the wheel.
