In just about 12 months since the first public release in Feb 2011, Agile Toolkit now have thousands of users worldwide (with no paid advertising). We’ve came the long way in 2011 and there is an exciting way ahead in 2012.
I would like to welcome anyone who wants to participate in brain-storming and helping with some testing of 4.2 into our new google group:

You can learn a lot buy learning fundamentals of Agile Toolkit. I’m starting from the very bottom layers of the framework, so join in quick!
If you are only starting with PHP and Web Development, questions like “how to execute PHP from JavaScript” are inevitable. First I must say that JavaScript and PHP are living on the different sides of the fence and are simply throwing ball over to each-other. So your JavaScript needs a request to the PHP asking it to execute some code.
Unless you want to reinvent the wheel, you should look into using some AJAX / PHP library. Agile Toolkit amongst other can be a great help when you want to build interaction between JavaScript and PHP.
As we nearing our deadline fro 4.2 release a lot of cool features have been added into development branch of Agile Toolkit such as:
The new implementations are functionally compatible with the 4.1 branch, although the do offer a number of benefits. In this article, I’ll highlight some of the new features about the new component implementation.
Another important feature of all the new modules is that they are are under heavy automated testing from the very start.
