Microsoft released Silverlight 2 yesterday, and with it brought the full .NET platform to rich internet applications (RIAs), which are currently dominated by Adobe's ActionScript-based Flash environment.
Afin de faciliter la conception d'applications Internet riches utilisant les technologies Flex et PHP, Zend et Adobe vont rapprocher leurs plates-formes et leurs outils de développement.
Key to this collaboration is the integration of Action Message Format (AMF) support into the Zend Framework. AMF is an open, binary, high-speed format enabling Adobe Flash Player and Flex-based client applications to exchange rich media and other data with servers. Flex is a free open source framework for building and maintaining web applications that deploy consistently across all major browsers and operating systems using Adobe Flash Player and to the desktop via Adobe AIR. Zend Framework is an open source PHP application framework. AMF support in Zend Framework delivers optimized communication between server-side Zend Framework components and client-side Adobe Flex components.
