As I’m sure everyone is almost aware by now Zend Framework 1.8 has been released. This is an extra special release for me as I spend two good weeks back in March writing the Ec2 Component after being pinged by Zend to do it.
It was fun writing it and learning more that I ever wanted to know about the Ec2 API’s but all it all it was a great expierice and I’m glad that I got the chance to do it.
Other notable items in the 1.8 release are:

So about two weeks ago Wil Sinclair from Zend pinged me about creating an Zend Framework API interface for Amazon Ec2. I was coming off of playing around with Ec2 for work and figured I would give it a shot. With the proposal filed I began the task of coding it out. After two weeks of writing code I had a working interface for the Query API from Amazon.
I do have to say I learned a lot while doing the inital work and I’m happy that Wil pinged me to do it. If you want to check out the code currently it lives on github but it is on track to make the 1.8 release of Zend Framework.
Please leave a commet here or on the proposal for anything that I may have over looked or if you have any ideas on how I could make it better.

Over at Phly, boy, phly, Zend Framework coder Matthew Weier O’Phinney, talks about issues with implementation of namespacing in PHP 5.3 and the coding standards of Zend Framework.
The issue is, that the PHP parser does not allow class Abstract, neither interface Interface as both “abstract” and “interface” are reserved keywords. So Zend suggests prefixing interfaces with “I” and abstract classes with “A”. Hungarian notation for classes and interfaces.
It’s definitely a good read if you are looking into using namespacing in PHP 5.3 and what issues it may bring up with you code. Read it now »
