Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 is now released for PHP development community. Introduced by Adobe Systems in partnership with Zend Technologies, the PHP company, Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP is a new integrated product helping PHP developers build rich Internet applications for mobile, web and desktop using PHP, ActionScript, and the open source Flex framework.
For developers now, this is the first time that they have the advantage of an integrated development environment (IDE), interweaving the capabilities of Flash Builder and Zend Studio for rapidly creating Flex and PHP applications. Now, developers do not have to face the challenges of maintaining multiple code bases, as they with a single code base can effectively build mobile applications for Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS and iOS while sharing code from Web applications. And, this will help them minimizing the time and cost of application development and maintenance.
Both Flash Builder and Zend Studio have been built on the Eclipse platform, so you will be able to build Flex and PHP side-by-side.

PHP Services? PHP Application Development? PHP Software Development? PHP Staff Augmentation? PHP Consulting?
Do you any idea what they are, or are they Greek to you?
If you belong to the latter category (though I don’t expect anyone to be), let me first tell you what PHP is, and what it has to do with web development, in a very simple and easy way to understand.
So for all the newbies in the business, PHP is a server side scripting language, designed sometime in 1994. It is usually written in an HTML context to build dynamic web pages, fast and easy; in fact, faster and easier than most other platforms in the business. And of course, it is free.
Languages for web development are a dime a dozen; there are many players in the domain. PHP is considered to be the best among the lot, and it has been adopted by major vendors like Linux. No wonder, businesses take PHP services for web development.
So, other than being fast and free, what does PHP have, to command such a loyal following? Why do companies look for PHP services, when it comes to web development? What does it have that other don’t have, making it a cut above the rest?
Well, I hope the few pointers below might answer some of these questions. When you take PHP services – PHP application development, PHP consulting, PHP staff augmentation or PHP software development, you definitely get some benefits, because:
PHP is fast with a lightweight design
PHP can build dynamic pages and develop highly interactive applications
PHP can be used with most operating systems
PHP is easy to learn
PHP is stable and reliable
I suppose, these are enough reasons for you to choose PHP services over other web scripting languages for web development. What do you say?
