Zend Technologies Polls Fast-Growing Zend Framework PHP Developer Community

Zend Survey Reveals Major Focus on Developing Business-Critical Web Applications 
Using Zend Framework, Growing Use of Mac OS X for Development, and Increased 
Demand for Training and Certification.

CUPERTINO, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2010 -- Zend Technologies, Inc., today 
announced results from âState of PHP and Zend Framework Developmentâ, a global 
online survey of the Zend Framework PHP developer community conducted in 
December 2009. Survey responses reflected a high level of satisfaction with Zend 
Framework across a diverse group ranging from independent consultants to 
organizations with 5,000+ employees.

âThe Zend Framework Open-Source Project debuted only four years ago and already 
more than 70% of the developers are using it for business-critical 
applications,â said Zeev Suraski, Chief Technology Officer at Zend Technologies. 
Survey results showed that Zend Framework is used by 58% of respondents for 
enterprise-level business critical-applications, and by 16% for department-level 
business-critical applications.

In terms of a production environment, 85% of PHP developers surveyed named Linux 
as their primary operating system while 11% named Windows and 2% named Mac OS X. 
When asked to name their primary operating system for development, 42% named 
Windows versus 38.5% who chose Linux and 19.1% who chose Mac OS X. For these 
same development environments, approximately 27% of respondents said they now 
use Zend Server and Zend Server Community Edition.

âWe are seeing rapid and broad-based adoption of the Zend Server technologies 
that we released last year,â said Suraski. âAt the same time, we are focused on 
integration of the framework, development tools and run-time environment to 
provide the developer community with an end-to-end solution. We believe this 
will take the already highly productive nature of PHP to the next level.â

In other survey results, close to 70% of respondents said they use Zend Studio 
or Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) for development, and 18% use Vim. Close 
to 50% of respondents reported using PHPUnit to perform unit testing.

Zend noted that 46% of respondents said they plan to obtain Zend Framework 
Certification, joining close to 5% who are already certified. Developer 
Certification is increasingly viewed as a job market advantage, a view that is 
reflected in growing demand for Zend training materials including webinars and 
online training. Zend has responded with a new Zend Framework training and 
certification bundle that enables novice and advanced PHP developers to become 
proficient in Zend Framework and achieve certification.
