You can programmatically deploy new web sites. Save the need retype things field by field. And best of all it uses ActiveResource. It may seem lame but the reason why Ruby on Rails is installed in my computer is just because of ActiveResource. (It was just yesterday I really understand how ActiveResource work and that it is just REST being wrapped nicely and I can use PHP to do the same saving the Ruby learning.)

But the PHP community reacts against those tips in Google Groups.

Still, both articles are good read. Codexon also wrote regarding Google’s odd optimization techniques.

Looks interesting. Especially looking forward to trying out the Requirements Composer.

What is Jazz?

Jazz is an open platform designed to support any industry participant who wants to improve the software lifecycle and break down walls between tools. Jazz is built on architectural principles that represent a key departure from approaches taken in the past. Unlike monolithic, closed products of the past, Jazz has an innovative approach to integration based on open, flexible services and Internet architecture.

This is why I like PHP, its official documentation ships with an apt XKCD comic: http://php.net/goto

Goto: http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.goto.php

goto, since it’s invention, has been rather misused most of the time.

On June 8, 1995, Rasmus Lerdorf issued the first public release of PHP. It’s a language that became the key development language of the Web 1.0 world powering millions of sites.

And by the way, it’s PHP’s birthday yesterday!
