Meetings every second Tuesday
New PHP IDE Presented
A new IDE for developing and debugging PHP applications was released last month. It's called Delphi for PHP and proposes to revolutionize the way you build PHP applications.
You can drag and drop from a palette of over 50 components onto a form, attach some code, then hit a button and it runs the page in a local web server designed for debugging PHP apps. You can combine or build your own components, hook up AJAX-refreshing grids to databases, authenticate logins, and more.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention this because CodeGear will be in Portland next week, Wednesday, May 2, from 6:00 - 9:00 PM, to present this product (along with some others) and talk a bit about the company. There will be door prizes and discounts or rebates.
They are visiting the Oregon Delphi User Group which meets at the Lorenzen Center Auditorium at Legacy Emanual Hospital. Please see the map for directions. ODUG meetings are free and open to the public.
Please tell anyone else you think may be interested.

Delphi for PHP? it is
Delphi for PHP? it is astonishing.
I use Delphi from 1.0 to .net, always use object pascal, My first impression is that the scope of this application is huge. Applications may have units and forms, like in the regular Delphi or Visual Basic IDE for desktop applications. Units are actual PHP scripts.
Forms represent an application perspective that can be viewed in Web pages. So forms are also PHP scripts. The difference is that forms have either a code view and a design view that shows a preview of what the page will display editable using drag and drop actions.
