I have just put up the source files for a Pherret tutorial. This sample application is an image gallery which is pretty simple but gets the job done. Several of the main features are showcased in this tutorial. The tutorial has not been written yet but since I finished the files for it I thought I would let you have at it if you would like to get a jump start on the tutorial.

I hope to make this the easiest and best framework for PHP.
