It may be cold outside, but there's nothing like a good IDE to keep a programmer cozy. And at this February meeting, New York PHP Community is pleased to have Yossi Leon of Zend warm us up to a double-shot of their no-foam-latte solutions - Eclipse PHP IDE and Zend Studio.

In the last year Zend and IBM started a new project called PHP IDE. This project is the official project from Eclipse organization for the PHP language. The idea of the project is to provide a framework in order to build a PHP development environment (as any other project of Eclipse which is a framework) on top of it. The project stable version (0.7) will be released on February 2007. In the session we will talk about Eclipse, the short history of the project and a demonstration of the features.

In the second (and the short) part of the session I will demonstrate the new cool features of Zend Platform 3.0 and the integration with Zend Studio 5.5.

Yossi Leon is the project leader of the Eclipse PHP IDE. In addition, he is also the development tools product manager at Zend Technologies. He has many years of experience in the design and implementation of application development environments as well as a deep knowledge and understanding of Quality Assurance and Packaging processes. Yossi holds a B.A in Computer Sciences and is currently studying for MBA.

Thanks to IBM for providing a great presentation space with seating for plenty.

As a service to our community, New York PHP community are always free and open to the public.
