I spoke to some of the guys at Zend<\/a> on the launch of the Zend Framework<\/a>, a class library for PHP. I wrote this up<\/a> for The Register.<\/p>\n

The Zend Framework is a non-visual library, but I asked whether it will handle visual controls in future. I was told that it will: Zend’s Zeev Suraski spoke about a forthcoming “Visual Component Model” along with “WYSIWYG tools” (though WYSIWYG is always a stretch with web applications).<\/p>\n

Of course I was reminded of Delphi for PHP<\/a> and its Visual Component Library. If Zend achieves its aim of making the Zend Framework something of a standard in the PHP community, that will be a blow for CodeGear’s product, unless somehow it could be re-worked to become a Zend Framework IDE. It seems to me that Zend’s framework has better chances than CodeGear’s. The documentation is incomparably better, and my early experiments suggest that the quality is good.<\/p>\n

It is also interesting to see that the Zend Framework has built-in support for Google services. <\/p>\n
