In our previous blog post, we explained why La Distribution was a perfect platform to code simple web applications. Now, we’ll explain you how to start coding and distributing your first application with the Limonade framework.
Given that you are a seasoned web developer, it should not be difficult. And if you’re not, hey, are you sure you want to do this? :)
Distributing a new or existing web application on La Distribution is really easy. All we have to do is to embed the application in what we call a package. As of today, La Distribution can theoretically support all PHP web applications, this mean there is tons of potential applications to package.
In this tutorial we’re going to package Moonmoon a PHP based PlanetPlanet clone. It’s relatively simple, it’s representative of a typical web application, and better, it’s from my friend Maurice! Frankly, I had no clue if the packaging was possible before starting writing this tutorial, so let’s cross our fingers.
