Artypapers began as an experiment but became an escape and turned into a series of useful & fun applications.
Brief Summary
In 2003 Artypapers was created by R. Marie Cox as a springboard for ideas and a working space of technical implementation -- a place to test and build an extendable collection of core classes (alliteration!) that acts as an application framework for a diverse set of projects and applications.
Core Projects
Core Artypapers projects are created and hosted off the Artypapers.com website. These projects are all dependent on the most stable version of the framework.
Part of Artypapers' purpose is to develop a solid, yet extendable, collection of classes that can be used over and over again for various web applications. To really test that framework, and to make it as reusable as possible, requires the assemblage of many different applications all operating independently yet still relying on a common code set.
That's where the Artypapers projects come in. Each project is created so that it will take advantage of the common code while producing its own additions to it. The resulting code is then turned around and upgrades are made to the applications created previously. It's tedious, it's horrible, and it's totally worth it in the long run.
Artypapers produces high-quality websites with extraordinary custom designs and standards-based CSS & XHTML. You can browse recent work at the Artypapers Portfolio.
