client side applications

About four years ago there were all sorts of rumors that Google was getting ready to enter the browser wars with its own offering, most likely built on Mozilla's code.

However, after years of nothing (and an increasingly close relationship between Mozilla and Google), many had thought that idea was dead.

Apparently not.

Andi Gutmans has pointed out an effort that Adobe has proposed that would go a long way towards adding AMF support to the Zend Framework.

Adobe has made a proposal for an AMF (Action Message Format) component in Zend Framework.

This ZF component will allow for client-side applications built with Flex and Adobe AIR to communicate easily and efficiently with PHP on the server-side.

Leading the design of the component for Adobe is Wade Arnold.
