    How to find out more about IBM's PHP on Java

    by Robert Nicholson

    This presentation was intended for the group of deep language technologists who assembled for the JVM languages summit. I covered very little on HOW you get and use this technology and why you would want to use it.

    P8 is not a standalone project. IBM makes it available in IBM WebSphere sMash which is an platform for developing agile web applications using scripting languages an Web 2.0 technology such as REST and Ajax. As well as being a commercial offering sMash is available for download and use without payment for limited deployments. So you can download it and try it. sMash is developed in the open so you can download the binaries, see our roadmap and bugtracker, and even look at the source. To find out more go to www.projectzero.org/.
