InfoWorld:Zend hails PHP for Microsoft, IBM
As reported on phpdeveloper.org, Zend co-founder and all-around great guy, Andi Gutmans gave an interview to Paul Krill of InfoWorld while at ZendCon06. In it, they talk about Zend’s partnerships with Microsoft, a little about IBM and a lot about PHP. Just so there was no confusion this time, near the beginning of the interview, Andi is asked this question:
InfoWorld: What is Zend’s role in the development of the PHP scripting language?
Gutmans: We’re contributors to the language and the language implementation itself. So, kind of the JVM [Java Virtual Machine] of PHP is called the Zend Engine, and that was originally developed by [Zend Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer] Zeev Suraski and myself in 1998.
It’s a good interview for suits. Don’t look for any technical goodies. However, if you are a developer, it’s a good one to point your boss to and say “Have you heard of this PHP thing?” (Let them think they discovered it, bosses like that.)
Drop by and give it a read.
