Google Pushes Services To PHP Coders

1 views

The search engine company sent an executive to keynote the wrapup of the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo; Adam Bosworth noted the move to web services in his talk. Bosworth touched on a number of topics during his keynote last week, taking time to praise web services and dig at his former employer, Microsoft. PC Advisor Bosworth said at the keynote. "In this world, the API is the URL," he said, no doubt making a reference to Google's products like Maps. Although Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Sun exec Scott McNealy didn't announce a web-based version of OpenOffice, Bosworth sees a niche for it. "I'm astonished that people are paying to basically create content," he said in taking a shot at Microsoft Office. Not everyone shares that rosy view of productivity suites being hosted remotely.
