11/01/2007

PHP|Architect has just published an article by Timothy Boronczyk entitled “Phalanger— When PHP Meets .NET.”  Microsoft’s .NET is hyped as a language-agnostic framework, but PHP developers may say it’s left them out in the cold.  Phalanger is a project that aims to bridge that gap, initially by making it possible to compile PHP code into .NET libraries, but latterly moving towards compatibility with the cross-platform Mono framework too.  The article appears in the November, 2007, issue.  For more information and to purchase a copy, visit http://phparch.com/c/magazine/issue/62.
