  • Oracle Takes on IBM and HP with Hardware, Software and Services Triple Play by Arif Mohamed
    CW+ a whitepaper from ComputerWeekly Oracle takes on IBM and HP with hardware, software and services triple play by Arif Mohamed This has been a landmark year for Oracle, the technology company headed by the charismatic and staggeringly wealthy Larry Ellison. Ellison, who is 65, has been chief executive officer since he founded Oracle in June 1977. He was listed the sixth richest person in the world in 2010. And his personal wealth of $27bn is a clear indication of Oracle’s success as an IT supplier. Oracle began the year by completing its $7.4bn acquisition of Sun Microsystems. The deal transformed Oracle from a software and consulting company, into a company able to compete on software, hardware and services. The deal gave Oracle Sun’s MySQL database, Sparc/Solaris servers, plus Sun’s storage hardware and flagship Java portfolio of tools and technologies. 2010 also marked the conclusion of an aggressive spending spree that has seen Oracle buying over 66 technology companies since 2002. These include CRM suppliers Siebel and PeopleSoft, middleware giant BEA Systems and storage specialist StorageTek. Six years on, Oracle has announced the fruits of its integration work, which began in 2004 when it bought PeopleSoft, which owned JD Edwards. Although Oracle has integrated the suites of applications from each subsequent merger to some degree, but it has now revealed a suite of software, Fusion Applications, which promises to unite them all for the first time through a common middleware layer, and run on optimised hardware from the Sun acquisition. Its Fusion Applications range of enterprise products, due out in January, will also give an upgrade path to enterprise users of Oracle’s legacy CRM and other business packages including PeopleSoft, Siebel and JD Edwards.

  • Rogue Wave Software Buys Israeli Co Zend Technologies
    Rogue Wave Software buys Israeli co Zend Technologies 07/10/2015, 12:18 Globes correspondent The sale was reportedly for considerably less than the $70 million that the Israeli PHP app company has raised. US company Rogue Wave Software has acquired Israeli company Zend Technologies , which offers end-to-end PHP web and mobile application development and deployment solutions. With 50 percent of the web workload running on PHP, including Magento, Drupal, and WordPress, Zend products drive PHP in the enterprise, from code creation through production deployment. Zend CEO Andi Gutmans and CTO Zeev Suraski founded the company in 1999, which is today headquartered in Cupertino, California and retains its development center in Ramat Gan. No financial details about the sale were disclosed but media reports suggest it was for considerably less than the $70 million that the company has raised to date. Rogue Wave CEO Brian Pierce said, “Today’s announcement expands Rogue Wave into PHP web and mobile application development, underscoring our goal to make developers heroes by accelerating their ability to create great code. With the addition of Zend, we now have products that speed C, C++, C#, Java, and PHP development, reflecting how software is created today across languages, platforms, and teams.” Gutmans said, “Our passion has always been about PHP users. When we founded Zend, we set out to make it easier for developers to use PHP to meet the demands of business development. We’re very happy to have a great match with Rogue Wave, from our shared commitment to customers and how we impact their software development lifecycle.

  • PHP 5 Power Programming by Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, and Derick Rethans
    PHP 5 Content provided in partnership with Prentice Hall PTR, from the book PHP 5 Power Programming by Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, and Derick Rethans Introduction Following the huge success of its predecessors, PHP 5 brings many significant improvements to the most popular web scripting language on the globe. The book PHP 5 Power Programming, written by Stig Bakken, Derick Rethans, and myself, provides readers with an in-depth view of this new PHP version right from its source. The foundation of PHP 5 is the new Zend Engine II scripting engine, which not only features a completely new and feature rich object oriented paradigm, but also provides the infrastructure for other significant changes such as great improvements in PHP's support for XML technologies. This article gives you a very short overview of PHP 5 and what makes it so great. New OO Features The OO model of PHP 5 has been completely rewritten. Not only does the move from objects being native types to objects being handles give much more clarity on when objects are created, cloned, and destroyed, but it also allowed us to implement many new OO features which are common in traditional OO languages. There are far too many features to cover, but the following list gives you the highlights: • As mentioned, PHP objects are now based on handles, which allows for clear-cut object constructors, clone methods and destructors • The PHP object syntax can be completely overloaded by PHP extension authors, allowing the efficient implementation of important new features such as SimpleXML and the native SOAP extension, both of which are described later on • Both properties and methods support the common OO public/private/protected access modifiers (as well as final and static) • Abstract methods, abstract classes and interfaces • Exception handling ala try/throw/catch • Method return value de-referencing such as $obj->method1()->method2() This list is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more OO improvements, too numerous to cover in this short overview.
