I specialize in easy to use open source web applications. Much of the software that I develop I also release under open source licenses to not only foster development but to also give back to the software community in general.

I use proven reliable technologies and frameworks such as PHP, the Zend Framework, jQuery, and MySQL. Extending and modifying my software is easy for just about any PHP programmer.

I encourage everyone to download and try my software without fear of cumbersome software licenses. If you are in a situation where you need a commercial license for any of my products, please send an e-mail to chris@ctankersley.com.

Kiroku

Kiroku is a site generation tool. Where most Content Management Systems focus on large sections, Kiroku focus more on the individual pages. With this in mind building out a website is quick and easy even for non-web designers. Integration with packages such as FCKEditor and an intuitive interface make Kiroku a great choice when building a new website.

Manuscript

Manuscript is a document management system useful for an intranet system. Users can upload any kind of file into Manuscript to make it available to other users.

Files can be tagged into multiple categories for easy organization.

PhpORM

PhpORM is a basic ORM manager. It allows Plain old PHP objects to be used as database entities without needing to worry about all the database stuff.
