Zend introduces a new development kit. PHP coders can also develop iOS applications.

Not long ago, Zend CEO AndiGutmans released the PHP development kit ZendStudio10 (which is still in Beta stage ). The new suite allows PHP programmers to build native applications on mobile platforms in languages they are familiar. This package includes some new features, such as WYSIWYG drag-and-drop interface tool and Project Co integrated with Apache

Not long ago, Zend CEO Andi Gutmans released the PHP development kit Zend Studio 10 (which is still in Beta stage ). The new suite allows PHP programmers to build native applications on mobile platforms in languages they are familiar. This package includes some new features, such as WYSIWYG drag-and-drop interface tool and Cordova integrated with Apache (Driving camera and hardware acceleration by calling the mobile phone's local API) phoneGap is also built in to facilitate developers to publish applications to different stores ).

This is a major change for PHP developers because they have been rejected from the mobile app market before. We all know that iOS applications are written in Objective-C, while Android applications mainly use Java. That is to say, over 5 million of PHP programmers can design and build applications on mobile platforms such as iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry.

Gutmans said: "We are currently the only software development vendor that provides such a development platform. This will be a seamless development experience ." These new functions allow developers to construct both the background code and the front-end interface. It is very difficult for software developers to do so.

Gutmans said Zend's vision is aimed at two areas: mobile platforms and cloud services. The new Zend Server is designed for cloud services and is compatible with Amazon, Rackspace, Windows Azure, and other cloud services. "Today's applications are connected to different backend systems, such as CRM systems, cloud services, and social networks. Most of them are scattered and it is difficult to integrate them into an application. But now developers can easily complete the integration through Zend Studio 10 ."

Gutmans believes that PHP and Zend have made significant progress in the enterprise market over the past few years, and they are constantly encroaching on the market share of Java and. Net. He believes that the new development kit will promote the company's development and make great achievements on the mobile platform. The new suite will bring new experiences to PHP programmers and enterprises using PHP products. They can use familiar things to create more powerful mobile application software.
