Zend Framework 1.0 Ready To Compete

[wd40]

At long last PHP's challenge to the .NET and JavaEE frameworks officially debuts. Since its inception 11 years ago, PHP has been a language for the Web. Now with the release of the Zend Framework 1.0 today, PHP becomes a language for Web applications and Web services enterprise applications.

Zend Framework 1.0 is an open source framework for PHP that brings it in closer competition with JavaEE and .NET than ever before.

The effort began back in October of 2005 with the first public development release appearing in March of 2006. Zend co-founder Andi Gutmans claims that they have had over 1 million downloads since the first Zend Framework development build was released, have received contributions from over 230 developers and had the support of both IBM and Google. Zend is one of the lead commercial sponsors of PHP development.

I'm pointing out the WinBeta link because that's where you copy pasted it from, as seen by the difference in the first paragraph between Internet News and WinBeta and the link to Zend Framework in the second paragraph.
