Zend Studio for Eclipse i5 Edition combines proven capabilities to create the world’s most powerful IDE for Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). Studio's powerful developer tools combined with Adobe Flex Builder and integration with Zend Framework lets developers build RIAs faster and easier. Zend Studio has superior support for developing modern Ajax applications. By providing powerful PHP capabilities, improved javascript support, deep integration to Zend Framework and the Dojo Ajax, application development gets done in record time. Zend and Adobe are collaborating to simplify development of RIAs using Flex by integrating Action Message Format (AMF) into Zend Framework. Since Zend Studio and Adobe Flex Builder both use Eclipse the developer has a powerful set of capabilities with a unified user experience.
