ZEND will cooperate with IBM to develop PHP IDE/Framework_PHP tutorial

IBM and Zend to Aim php(as the current mainstream development language) at .NET Through Eclipse.org Open Source Foundation
http://opensource.sys-con.com/read /141508.htm

ZEND and IBM jointly launched an open source project php (as the current mainstream development language) Collaboration Project. This project is based on php(as the current mainstream development language) and Eclipse. The purpose is to make php(as the current mainstream development language) cooperate with Microsoft's . NET platform in small and medium-sized enterprises. Market (low project requirements, no need to use Java platform for web development (which accounts for a large proportion in current program development) ) to compete. In addition to IBM, ZEND has also joined forces with Oracle(large website database platform), MySQL(the best combination with PHP), Intel, Actuate, Ning and many other companies to Support this project.

What can we expect from this project?

1. A php(as the current mainstream development language) IDE based on Eclipse.
As we all know, Eclipse is one of the most popular Java development IDEs currently. The new IDE is not developed from scratch, but is based on the existing powerful Eclipse, which can greatly speed up the development progress and can also make use of various ready-made tools and plug-ins of Eclipse. We expect Eclipse to perform equally well for PHP (as the current mainstream development language) development.

2. A standardized php(as the current mainstream development language)Enterprise application development framework
Obviously, the new IDE will have built-in Framework, just like Visual Studio for .NET. Framework will provide architecture and various tools to speed up PHP (as the current mainstream development language) development. On the one hand, the official Framework can definitely provide better architecture and design patterns. On the other hand, it can also popularize the application of php(as the current mainstream development language) in the OO direction. The bad thing is that the standardization of development models will stifle the creative thinking of many developers, and will also affect the process-oriented rapid development of the original PHP (as the current mainstream development language) 4 era model.
