What are "smart devices"?

.NET uses software for smart devices to enable PCs, laptops, workstations, smart phones, handheld computers, Tablet PCs, game consoles, and other smart devices to operate in the .NET universe. A smart device is:

Smart about you. A smart device uses your .NET identity, profile, and data to simplify your experience and is smart about your presence, allowing tailoring of notifications in response to your presence or absence.

Smart about the network. A smart device is responsive to bandwidth constraints, provides support for both online and offline use of applications, and understands which services are available.

Smart about information. A smart device allows you to access, analyze, and act on data anywhere anytime.

Smart about other devices. A smart device discovers and announces PCs, other smart devices, servers, and the Internet; knows how to provide services to other devices; smart about accessing information from the PC.

Smart about software and services. A smart device presents applications and data optimally for form factor; enables input methods and connectivity appropriate for great end-user interaction; consumes Web services using XML, SOAP, and UDDI; and programmable and extensible by developers.

Zend Engine - In depth

The Zend Engine is the centerpiece of PHP, and is the component that parses (in other words, 'understands') and executes all of your PHP files.

Work on the Zend Engine began on 1997, when Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski designed the first implementation of the PHP language, with syntax loosely based on PHP/FI. Their work on PHP 3 revolutionized the PHP world, and created PHP as we all know it today.

The term 'Zend Engine' was first used in 1999, and was given to the scripting engine of PHP 4. For the first time, the scripting engine was a separable, reusable component, that was not tied to the Web-specific interfaces of PHP in any way, and could be used elsewhere. The performance, reliability and extensibility of PHP 4's engine brought a 2nd revolution to the world of PHP, and helped making it the most popular Web platform in the world today.

The Zend Engine is responsible for the following tasks in PHP:

High performance parsing (including syntax checking), in-memory compilation and execution of PHP scripts
Implementation of all of the standard data structures of PHP
Interfacing with extension modules for connectivity to external resources and protocols, such as SQL, HTTP and FTP
Overloading the Object Oriented syntax, for integration with Java and .NET
Providing all of the standard services, including memory management, resource management and more for the whole of PHP
The Zend Engine was designed to be extensible, and allows extension modules such as debuggers, performance boosters and custom loaders to be dynamically integrated to it. Whenever you're using such a plug-in module, you're doing so thanks to the extensibility options of the Zend Engine!
