Future of PHP : Open source Era


The fact that PHP is an open source programming language makes a great case against its competitors. It has a cheap, fast, reliable and widely supported environment to run in, therefore it is mainly used in standard web deployment, not only large enterprises. PHP became the most popular language on the Internet in 2002, and that with next to $0 marketing costs. None of PHP's main competitors – ASP, Perl and JavaScript – have such a great community to support them. On the other hand, commercial languages such as ColdFusion offer a lot more components, tools and support, but that comes with a lot of money also.
Why should you choose PHP? If you're a beginner, PHP is excellent for you. It is really easy to understand, and you can figure out most things on your own. PHP documentation isn't the most detailed one, but it can give you some information on what you're trying to find out. If you still cannot find what you're looking for, a search on the Internet will be worthwhile. There are a lot of tutorials and code examples, and most certainly you will find out more than you expected. Other languages, on the other hand, have a detailed documentation – even though it is sometimes too detailed and you can't understand anything from it – so you probably won't have to do any additional research on the Internet.
If you're an intermediate or advanced programmer, you may like PHP because there are a lot of things you can do with it. Flexibility and portability are two essential attributes of PHP. You can run it or almost every operating system in the world, and you can modify it as you wish. Besides, at the end of the day, you will not have spent any money into doing so. Other languages rely on the fact that having a lot of components and tools cover for their lack of versatility towards new ones.
When it comes to support, PHP is known for its excellent global community, which helps out people looking for answers. Alternatively, commercial languages provide support from well-trained personal who will answer you quickly, but then again the costs are much higher.
You will find both praises and critics to PHP. The best way to go is to try it for yourself. Just start fresh without taking into consideration other people's comments, and figure it out on your own.

SilverStripe CMS has become Microsoft certified


SilverStripe is a free and open source programming framework and content management system (CMS) for creating and maintaining websites. The CMS provides an intuitive web-based administration panel, allowing any person to maintain their website without knowledge of markup or programming languages.
SilverStripe contains a flexible MVC development framework known as Sapphire. Much like Ruby on Rails, but written in PHP5, it ensures developers are capable of extending and enhancing the functionality of the CMS and the website. SilverStripe provides developers with complete control of the generated markup; allowing for higher, semantic standards of XHTML. As a consequence, building websites using SilverStripe requires technical website development competence, and is thus aimed at providing efficiency and power to experienced website developers.
SilverStripe can run on Windows or Linux, with a choice of MySQL, Microsoft SQL, or PostgreSQL database.
SilverStripe is released under the terms of the BSD Licence. Documentation is available for CMS users and website developers. A 450 page technical reference book on SilverStripe is available in German, with an English edition coming by August 2009. An online demonstration of the CMS is available as a video and as an interactive demo

SilverStripe CMS the first ever open source web app to become Microsoft Certified


We're excited to report that SilverStripe CMS has become Microsoft certified today. This is notable because Microsoft has certified a very small number* of web apps, and we're the first ever open source certified web app.
Microsoft's Certified for Windows programme is well known for indicating software and hardware products that have been thoroughly tested and which work well on Microsoft Windows. Of course, much of the innovation in the software world is now happening on the web, and with awareness and adoption of open source software growing fantastically, it makes sense for Microsoft to begin certifying open source web-based software.
For those who are unfamiliar with us, it might be useful to make a point around what we mean by open source. It is a broad term. For us it refers to software released under an license approved by the Open Source Initiative (which for SilverStripe CMS is the BSD license) and that the software meets the Open Source Definition. We'd even go further and suggest that, in the spirit of open source software, open source software should have a number of other qualities to be truely open source. For instance, we feel that the source code must not only be freely available, it should be available via a versioning system such as Subversion or GIT. We also feel that there should also be official public online systems (forums, mailing lists, bug trackers, wikis, etc) that allow a community to transparently discuss the direction, development, customisation, and use of a software project. In addition there should be good documentation available so that people have a decent hope of using the software if they have adequate skills. So when we say SilverStripe CMS is the first open source web-app to be Microsoft Certified, we're proudly stating ours is the first certified software to embrace all of these types of values. Finally, as a bonus, all of the languages that comprise our software (PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) are all either open source or open standards.
The process towards certification has been a long but, we trust, rewarding road. A large proportion of our community, and those who pay for services to do with our software, use Microsoft servers, databases, and other technology. A lot of you actively sought that our product worked reliably in this environment. Over the past three years we've worked to make SilverStripe CMS work with Microsoft's operating system, web servers, and SQL Server database product.
We have also made SilverStripe CMS much easier to install on Windows through being one of the selected products bundled with Microsoft Web Platform Installer (WebPI) when it launched last year. Since then, SilverStripe CMS has been installed over 60,000 times using WebPI. Finally, we have done work to ensure SilverStripe CMS runs fast on Windows, through being compatible with the Microsoft WinCache PHP bytecode cache, a free extension to IIS.
Certification is a result of this work. It highlights that our product development has been done to Microsoft best practices, and that a third party, one of Microsoft's appointed certification partners, Wipro Technology, has rigorously tested our software.
We're proud because all of the people who have been asking for our software to run on Windows now know that it runs really well.
We're also very proud to be part of a global milestone in corporate IT accepting and embracing open source software.
