BBC will be using Zend Framework in the future
According to news coming out from @media, the BBC will be using Zend Framework for the presentation layer for bbc.co.uk.
Federico of PHP::Impact has more information here.
The benefits of Zend Framework that have been identified are:
- Zend Framework’s extensive unit tests, required for all contributed code, mean that exact situations can be recreated and problems diagnosed and pinpointed.
- The high-quality implementation of the MVC web application architecture provides a foundation for all Zend Framework applications.
- Supports data adapters for all major databases.
- Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n).
- Authentication, authorization and session management.
- Web services.
- Ajax support.
- Security.
- A vast community of talented developers.
It’s good to see Zend Framework being used in more and more places.
