Zend Framework Development is the development and management of content on the Zend Framework. So, before anything else, let us understand what the Zend Framework is. The core of Zend Framework (ZF) is a loosely coupled application framework that consists of a library of components. These components are all written in object-oriented PHP closely following the current best practices. PHP is the language of choice for building dynamic web applications. It is used by more than a third of all websites and has been adopted by corporate IT for running business-critical applications. PHP is simple, scalable and robust. It is supported by a large, vibrant community and embraced by a multitude of vendors who have formed a comprehensive ecosystem around it.

In 1999, Suraski and Gutmans founded Zend Technologies, the PHP Company. Zend is the leading provider of products and services for developing, deploying, and managing business-critical PHP applications. Zend products and services support the entire lifecycle of PHP web applications and are deployed by more than 30,000 companies worldwide.

The appeal of PHP to web developers has driven the growth of an extensive ecosystem, consisting of platforms, tools, and applications. PHP runs on all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and IBM i. A variety of open source and professional-grade tools support every stage of the application lifecycle. Numerous drivers and connectors are widely available, and a multitude of applications can be readily used for e-commerce, content management, CRM and more.
