Yes, I am still alive

On April 16, 2011 By

I have not posted in a long time and actu­ally have started feel­ing guilty about it. I shouldn’t feel guilty, rather con­cerned that I haven’t felt like I had any­thing to say, as if I am brain dead, but more like my brain hurts too much to think. In gen­eral, I have been putting most […]

Yes, Open Source Is Important

On February 13, 2009 By

I have a bit of a rant in me right now so you may want to duck and cover. Although I tend to dis­agree with some of the rabid and rather con­strain­ing ide­olo­gies in the open source com­mu­nity, I have always agreed with the basic issue that the source code should be open so that […]

Learning PHP Data Objects by Dennis Popel, pub­lished by Packt Publishing (© 2007) ISBN-13: 978–1847192660

This is a good start for PDO. The exam­ples and method­ol­ogy used to present the con­cepts for using PDO were very use­ful. The book steps you from the basic use of PDO in chap­ter 2, through error han­dling and […]

Rant: Form Follies

On July 8, 2008 By

Recently I ran across a blog that really got me going for a short time. It required Java, Javascript, and cook­ies includ­ing 3rd party cook­ies to view the web page. A friend of mine got sus­pi­cous of the site and asked me to look at it. What I dis­cov­ered was a lot of stu­pid­ity and […]

Get with the Program!

Most peo­ple will find that down­load­ing and installing the “AMP” part of “LAMP” on a Macintosh from either the fine folks at Apache Friends or living-e will result in a great expe­ri­ence. I encour­age those who are not com­fort­able with the com­mand line to use […]

Well, actu­ally, php­Doc­u­men­tor in and of itself doesn’t drive me crazy. It is the peo­ple writ­ing sloppy code and doing rather stu­pid things in the name of cre­at­ing good doc­u­men­ta­tion. PhpDocumentor has some very noble goals and ben­e­fits. Providing proper doc­u­men­ta­tion regard­ing your code is impor­tant, espe­cially open source Continue Reading

OOP and My Conflict

On March 25, 2008 By

I learned C++ in the early 1990s and started my jour­ney on the Object Orient Programming road although for like 15 years, that road was only a block long. Even still, it began a inter­nal bat­tle with myself that was just sim­mer­ing but now has started to boil over.
