  • Center of Expertise

    Purpose of the Center of Expertise will be, and I will quote the announcement, amongst others: This is a step not a lot of commercial organizations dare to make, and I am very proud to be working for one of the companies that has the balls to do it. Sure, there’s commercial stuff in there,…

  • Speaking at the International PHP Conference

    I am quite excited about speaking at the International PHP Conference. It’s one of the biggest events on PHP right now, and the line up of speakers is impressive to say the least. I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone there. The session I will be doing at IPC is called ‘The Power…

  • Speaking at SymfonyCamp 2008

    Having initiated the event last year, and it going on to become the success it was last year, I am very happy that my former employer Dutch Open Projects decided to organize SymfonyCamp again this year. The line-up for this year is quite impressive, with not only symfony founder Fabien Potencier there, but also Dustin…

  • DbFinderPlugin: The ORM isn’t important anymore

    One of the most important changes in symfony 1.1 was the creation of the symfony platform, the core of symfony had it’s classes completely refactored into a fully decoupled set of classes that could easily be picked or overruled when required. It meant total independence of those classes whenever you would choose to do that.…

  • Adding a link to a form element with Zend Framework

    The problem I was stumped on friday was stupid enough. We have a form builder using Zend_Form that builds a form based on external XML input. In certain situations, a form field needs to have an associated link with it. I was quickly told by the friendly people in #php_bnl on irc.freenode.net that I needed…

  • Details make the difference

    The Zemanta API is quite a simple API at this point, but it works nicely. To give some background, you feed the API with a text, Zemanta analyses this text, and offers links, images and tags as a suggestion for usage with the text. Excellent for weblogs and magazines looking to enrich their content. The…

  • Dutch PHP Conference 2008

    This year the conference is bigger and better. More people will attend (which I guess will add to the less personal approach of the event, but what’s to be expected of an event this big?) but also there is an extra day. Aside from the regular conference day, there is now also a workshop day.…
