Existing Database

Permalink
Is there documentation describing the best way to port an existing custom php application into Concrete5 ? I have looked at most of the database documentation but cant seem to grasp how you would create an application on this platform. my app is about 60 php files and each interacts with an existing database and then call another php using the data from retrieved from the DB. Is it possible and probably a better question, is it wise to try to port to concrete5?
If I am barking up the wrong tree I can rewrite in java .net or whatever. I just like the functionality of the concrete CMS.
Thanks in advance for your help!
