About Serenity Application Platform
Serenity AP is a PHP web application framework that was designed to be as small and unobtrusive as possible. Comparisons can be made to CakePHP, Ignite Framework, etc, however Serenity is not a strict MVC framework, nor a strict application framework. What Serenity does well is provide a simple host->action->application binding UI and all the tools a developer would need to build anything from a customer management system to a single script.

E29 is pleased to announce the not-beta release of the FindSerenity.net service. The FindSerenity service offers a quick turn-key project management solution using Serenity Platform, Trac and Subversion version control.

New projects are being accepted, and if approved, are often up and running in less than five minutes.

Projects are currently limited to Serenity Platform based applications and Invision Power Services add-on components, themes, or mods. For projects under 50mb of checked-in code, hosting is free. For larger projects or those needing additional tools, a monthly fee will be assessed. If you’d like to host your project with our service, send an email to sales [AT] e29inc.com, or file a ticket in our support center with details regarding your project.

E29 adopts Ineo component
One of our first FindSerenity projects is the Ineo Article Manager. Formally released by Veriea and then open sourced, E29 has adopted the project and will be releasing an interim update to bring compatibility to IP.Board 2.2 and 2.3 You can check out the project site here.

At E29, we understand the value of social platforms for your business. In an effort to increase our brand and transparency, we’ve created an official E29 twitter feed. If you’re on Twitter, feel free to add @e29 to get information on release dates, what we are working on, and insider tips for customers.

If you’re new to Twitter, we encourage you to check it out. It’s an excellent way to keep in touch with friends and family, and even major companies like JetBlue and Comcast have Twitter feeds that they actively monitor.

We have added some advanced tutorials for the sGen system used by Serenity. If you’d like to get a handle on how to use plugins, dynamic data and more with Serenity, check out the sGen tutorials!
