While working on a new project where my base was Zend Framework I desided to give the default layout for new ZF projects in Zend Studio for Eclipse a chance.   While it does start a good layout for a project by generating the default code which is a real time saver I did notice some problems.

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.

So part of my job at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is writing Admin Tools for our users to administer the sites with. There are a mix of older admin tools which don’t use any JavaScript and newer admin tools where the front end is completely based on JavaScript.
