  5. About Microsoft (From the PHP Developer’s Perspective.) • Don’t think of Microsoft as ASP.NET • Microsoft’s Platform Motivations • Products versus Platforms • But Think ECOSYSTEM • 90% of PHP Developers Code on Windows • 10% of PHP Developers DEPLOY on Windows

  6. What’s Changed at Microsoft? • Scott Guthrie / DevDiv Organization • Platform Focus • Dynamic Languages • Python, Ruby, Phalanger • IIS Team • FastCGI • Hosting Team • Tools & Data Teams • Open Source ***

  7. The PHP Developer • Is a natural pragmatist. • Is an integration specialist. • Tends to focus on the solution, not the plumbing. • Works in venue that’s changing at a staggering pace.

  8. PHP versus ASP.NET

  9. PHP on Windows - Problems / Solutions • Startup Cost • Ongoing Cost • Hosting • Threads ! • Reliability / Performance • Community

  10. Microsoft Developer Start • Windows / IIS • SQL Server Express (Workgroup) • Visual Web Developer Express • Visual C# (VB) Express • Microsoft Ajax • WPF / E ***

  17. The State of PHP on Windows • PHP is PHP is PHP. (Mostly) • Winabler, Platform, FastCGI • Other 3rd parties offer……. • CodeGear Delphi for PHP • Phalanger = Managed Code PHP • http://www.php-compiler.net/ • JCX.Software • VS.PHP • Zend’s Windows Work Continues • Microsoft’s work for PHP Continues

  18. Things PHP is not designed for. • Component Creation • Calling binary .DLLs • Simplifying Interoperability • Remote Instancing • Application Multithreading • Asynchronous Dependencies • Multi Phase Transactions • Aggregating Multi-Interfaced Objects • Type Encapsulation & Abstraction • Object Scope Promotion • Static Instance Access
