The Rise of Dynamic Languages ​​Can Delphi For PHP Save Borland? (1)_PHP Tutorial

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. Something new is born in the IT field almost every year. But it will give people different surprises every time. No, just in 2006, IBM and Microsoft also launched their own new products: Viper (DB2 9) and Vista. However, in 2006, Borland, the protagonist of the Borland incident that caused a lot of uproar because it wanted to sell its development department, finally launched a series of new developments in the name of its subsidiary CodeGear in early 2007 after lingering for a while. Tools, including the latest version of the famous Delphi, Delphi2007, but looking at its new product list, it is not difficult to find that there is a product that has never appeared in previous Borland products. Yes, this is Delphi for PHP.

I remember a few months ago, I saw in Borland’s official job advertisement that Borland was recruiting PHP developers, and the requirements for these personnel were very high in dynamic languages. If we put these two things together, maybe we will understand everything. It turns out that Borland's purpose is to create the best PHP development tool in the world to reproduce the glory of Delphi back then. So can Borland really make money from free PHP as expected?

1. Delphi is in dire straits, and Borland’s hero has broken his arm

When it comes to Borland, almost everyone who is engaged in software development knows an equation, that is, Borland = development Tools = Delphi, this equation is as famous as Microsoft = operating system = Windows. More than 20 years ago, two young people, James Gosling and Philippe Kahn, founded the Borland company in Silicon Valley, USA with their dreams. A few years later, Borland became famous with its flagship product Delphi. At its peak, Borland was among the top 10 software companies in the world.

Although Borland’s technology is world-class, his previous CEOs are not commensurate with Borland’s technology. Due to constant decision-making mistakes, Borland lost opportunities to enter the database and office software markets time and time again. These mistakes also gradually forced Borland's most important development tools department to a dead end, and finally became a hawker on the street.

After selling it for a long time, Borland finally failed to sell its development tools department. So Borland decided to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, CodeGear, to be responsible for the research and development of development tools.

Since its establishment, CodeGear has been committed to the development and maintenance of Borland's legacy development tools (Delphi, C++ Builder, JBuilder, etc.), as well as the restoration of the Turbo series of industrial development tools. Many people are also skeptical about the establishment of CodeGear. They generally believe that Borland cannot gain more benefits from making development tools. But after Borland lays an egg (that is, CodeGear), can they change their development tools? ? I've also had this question. But recently I saw something different from Borland's previous products on CodeGear's website: Delphi for PHP. This is extraordinary. Dynamic languages ​​have been a hot topic in recent years. Why, can PHP be developed in Delphi? So I took a look at the product introduction of Delphi for PHP with this question in mind (interested readers can visit
