Madeam is a PHP Model View Controller (MVC) Framework that allows for rapid application development (RAD) for the new web. It is originally inspired by David Heinemeier Hansson’s Ruby On Rails framework. It’s main focus is to give developers the creative freedom and tools to realize their dream applications without any frustration.
The name Madeam comes from a hack of the sentence “Made after midnight” or “Made AM”. It represents the long hours spent by every programmer working on a project in the middle of the night. Programmers are nocturnal and the name is to honor that culture.
