Sugar and Cake...

Deskpad websites and software run in a LAMP environment (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and are built on the CakePHP framework and SugarCRM opensource customer relationship management software.

Cake is an MVC (Model View Controller) framework written in PHP which enables rapid development of web applications.  Deskpad is also partial to the awesomely powerful JQuery opensource javascript library.
