At the ZendCon PHP conference, Zend and Adobe announce plans to collaborate to help PHP developers better leverage Adobe’s user experience technologies. The two companies will enable PHP developers to make better use of Adobe’s Flash and Flex technology.
At the event being held Sept. 15-18 in Santa Clara, Calif., the two companies said they will collaborate to make Zend’s PHP tools play nicely with Adobe’s Flex technology for building RIAs (rich Internet applications). Indeed, the two companies will deliver technologies, content and services to make it easy for enterprise developers to build RIAs using Flex on the client and PHP on the server.
One of the core deliverables of this collaboration is to integrate Adobe’s AMF (Action Message Format) support into Zend Framework. AMF is an open, binary, high-speed format enabling Adobe Flash Player and Flex-based client applications to better exchange rich media and other data with servers, Adobe officials said.
Flash CS3 Professional is available at an academic discount price of $245.
Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro is available for free to all education customers.
