Skinnable, Portable Desktop Apps In PHP

Posted by timothy on from the leopard-spots dept.

joeldg writes "With the new Zend coding contest getting underway, a lot of PHP coders are hacking out some amazing new test code. In that vein and in response to the lack of skinning with PHP-GTK apps, I just finished up writing a tutorial with source code for doing skinnable desktop applications in PHP that run on both Linux and Windows."

    >in-appropriate php apps
    you are correct, BUT, the struggle for existence will force us to take many directions, independent of the appropriateness.
    The struggle here is to find a means to deliver apps on to multiple platforms(OSs).
    Existence of such a means are getting closed, due to *PURE* commercial interests.
    The developers are finding those means for their better life, appropriate or in-appropriate doesn't matter here.
