Technologies Decisions:

This technologies were chosen over other technologies especially on the JavaScript side due to lack of time

• It was chosen Symfony because is one of the frameworks that is used in Alert Logic and I have experience with it.
• It was chosen JQuery UI and Bootstrap because I had used it before and is a very simple to use.

Architectural Decisions :

On the Front-End (JavaScript) side:

• It was chosen to use functional inheritance pattern to allow some type of encapsulation.
• The project is encapsulated inside of a namespace to avoid problems with variables or functions without scope
• UI Event handelers were encapsulated inside of an object controller
• No other model than the one inside of the Bootstrap-Table seems to be necesary.

On the Back_End (PHP) side:

• Thanks to the framework guideness the project is encapsulate inside of a bundle.
• Using services that works as helper providing simpler access to the requested API.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3.3+ compiled with the cURL extension.
• Symfony 2.3
