Zend Framework Reaches New Milestone: 5 Million Downloads
With now over 5 millions downloads under its belt (2.5 million of those in the past six months alone!) the Zend Framework open-source project has shown phenomenal growth. This means a much larger and more vibrant community of developers to hire from, to pore over and vet ZF code contributions, and, in general, to raise the bar for professional PHP development.
To that end, we are happy to announce a new case study showcasing the world-famous Indy 500 racetrack: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) and their standardization on Zend Framework. Read a short summary here or the entire case study to see why IMS chose Zend. Jon Whitcraft, Lead Application Developer at IMS said: "I can't tell you how important a friendly and growing community is to building a product the open-source way."
