Perhaps it was worthwhile after all... :)

Wednesday, January 4. 2006

Well, after my last post I got a nice e-mail from Andi Gutmans regarding my request to work with Zend on the Zend Framework. The result of that e-mail and the ensueing conversation is that I will now be working on the Zend Framework within the next couple of days!

I am very excited about the prospect of working with the folks at Zend on the framework, and can't wait to get stuck in.

I obviously can't release any information that they don't want released, and thats fine, I like to keep people in suspense

I will however, endeavour to keep my eyes on the community to see what you guys need and try to impart on the rest of the team - though I know there is a lot of this going on already, one more set of eyes can't hurt!

Heres to Zend Framework, the future of PHP (and perhaps all) Web Development! Move over Ruby on Rails

Congrats Davey. One thing I would definitely like to see in the Zend Framework, since it intends to provide AJAX support, is integration with the prototype.js library. I realise that this is used by Ruby on Rails, which the framework is not trying to rip off, however it is a fantastic library and it would be great to see it become almost a standard. An additional bonus is obviously it can be relied on for continual development etc, and also there are a lot of additional scripts and projects already implementing prototype.js,

Just my 2cents worth - since you mentioned that you wanted to keep an eye on what the community needs

Maybe you can pass it on to the development team?

Any thoughts?

prototype.js is way too heavy. There are better options out there.

Viva la ZF

Good job, dude. Now get in there and grind that framework out asap because I really am dying for a decent web app framework for php...

Congratulations. Hopefully, you can get Zend excited about the PEAR installer.

What are your plans for Crtx_PEAR_Channel_Frontend?

#7 Jeff Moore (Homepage) on 2006-01-04 16:46 (Reply)

I have no plans at this point to ditch the Crtx_PEAR_Channel_Frontend, I've got some outstanding things in SVN but it has been a while since I touched it.

If I do find I am unable to maintain it, I'm sure there are others (Clay Loveless, Greg Beaver, you?

) who will be willing to pitch in

Congratulations!

Would you be just a contributor, or are you on the Zend payroll now?

The 'obviously can't release any information that they don't want released' is a bit ambiguous, why would there be info about the framework that they don't want to be released? (or maybe that's just me being paranoid again)

Awesome man, congrats!
