Creative, calculated risks are at the heart of innovation. Here you’ll find our technology playground: a collection of products and libraries developed by our engineers that we think are original, useful or just plain cool!

Describr is an object-oriented library for describing files, extracting information such as size and colour through plugins.
The Box UK Routing library provides a comprehensive solution for applications that implement a Front Controller architecture. It handles incoming URLs, extracts their parameters, and rewrites output to include these clean URLs for the client.
When it comes to working with images in today's web applications, there is surely no more common a task than 'thumbnailing' - the practice of creating reduced-size versions of images to make them more appropriate for display. The Obscura PHP thumbnailing library, available under the MIT license, makes this possible through a modern, fluid, intuitive interface.
PHP development really feels like it's grown up in recent years, and with all the great new features landing in 5.3 we’ve never had it so good. Dependency injection is a well known concept, so why another?
