New domain name and PHP / Agile Toolkit courses in Dublin

Unfortunately too many can’t remember or spell atk4, so we will be moving to a new domain:

www.agiletoolkit.org

We have been thinking about some new domain for the toolkit as well, but nothing comes to mind, so for time being we will leave it as “Agile Toolkit”. If you have a interesting idea – please share with me, I’d love to hear.

Also — we are looking to start a first courses in Dublin (on Saturdays) on the toolkit, so everyone who can attend — should attend. Courses will be free but I would expect some feedback in return. It would also give me more practice on teaching, so if you are willing to come — leave a note in the comments. I will announce the place on this blog once we secure the place.

128 Free Icons for Web Applications from AgileTech birthday party

The company I am working on is having a 3-year old birthday. I wanted to say a personal thanks to everyone who have been working with us over this time. Also a big thanks to all the entrepreneurs and startups we have worked. Agile Toolkit wouldn’t be growing without your support.

Click here for a slice birthday cake.

Apart from sharing some success stories, we are sharing a set of 128 Free Icons. Those are public domain icons. They are absolutely FREE. Please – spread them and post them and use them and love them.

The Photoshop PSD file is included along with a short tutorial on fine-tuning the icons for your specific project’s interface. And Icons are included in Agile Toolkit too.

See demo of Icons in Agile Toolkit.

While we are still debating, most probably Agile Toolkit 4 will be available under the General Public License. It will be dual-licensed under commercial license if you wish to use it in commercial applications. The same principle will apply on all the code, plugins, modules.

Enjoy. I might post sources later on. It took me 4 hours to develop that demo from scratch.
