Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP released for building Cross Platform Applications

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.

Get the Best Zend Framework Development from Zend Framework Experts

In an earlier blog post, I’ve mentioned that Zend framework development is arguably the most popular framework.  This framework was launched in the web development market, sometime in 2005, when other web development frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Spring Framework were very popular. However, within a short period of time, Zend has gained immense popularity, leaving the other frameworks far behind. The rising demand for Zend Framework Experts in the market supports the fact that Zend is the best development framework for web development.

Zend Framework is an open source PHP software framework that can enhance the productivity and simplicity of the latest Web 2.0 features and help you manage your website in the best way possible. It has a number of significant features that makes it better than other frameworks in the market.

Zend Framework has highly Modular-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, making the code easy to use and maintain. As the controller separates the data from the user interface, web developers can make changes in the data or the user interface, without affecting each other. Zend also has a very flexible design, which is of great help in developing interactive websites.

Web developers and designers chose Zend Framework development over others for its ability to support PHP5 and higher versions for web application development, along with many modern databases that include MySQL, SQL server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and many others.  This framework also consumes APIs from leading vendors like Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Flickr, as well as API providers and cataloguers like StrikeIron and ProgrammableWeb.

Web development by highly experienced Zend Framework experts would facilitate the growth of PHP programming, with features like pre-packaged applications, assistance in reducing defects and solutions customized for various platforms like IBM, Linux and Windows. It also helps with cloud computing. As a matter of fact, Zend Framework development is highly rated for its rich features.
