CorneliOS


CorneliOS is a Web OS and application framework. It includes the CorneliOS API as well as the CORA and CIOS frameworks. Developing software for or with CorneliOS is quite fast and simple and you can expect great results requiring a minimum of effort.

CORA


Use CORA to develop applications for CorneliOS.

CORA applications are part of the Web OS, they can be used in full screen mode (one app in one browser window) or in desktop mode (several apps in one browser window) by registered CorneliOS users. Users may switch between the two modes on the fly.

CORA application are basically websites using HTML, CornelioSCRIPT and BBCode-like commands. No programming skills are required to create simple applications. Complex applications may require some Perl and Javascript skills.

CIOS


Use CIOS to develop applications with CorneliOS.

CIOS applications can be web applications, custom websites or community platforms for example. You may use all CorneliOS features, but users won't notice the CornliOS Web OS. You're creating your own platform, your own look and feel and you may change whatever you want.

CIOS applications are Perl scripts supporting HTML, CornelioSCRIPT and BBCode-like commands. Programming skills are required, although CIOS also offers a pre-built demo project that you may simply change depending on your needs, making it very easy to start your first own project.

A single technological base


CorneliOS, CORA and CIOS all share the same technological base: the CorneliOS API, HTML and CornelioSCRIPT. This means that you'll only have to learn the basic elements once to understand CorneliOS and to build apps using CORA and CIOS.
