In the period of a few hours yesterday, three new PHP frameworks were announced on Planet PHP and PHPDeveloper. It was really something I noticed, that this happened in such a short timespan. I was clearly not the only one who noticed. Andrei and Clay also noticed and wrote about it in pretty clear words.…
Yay, it’s in!
One of the things I’ve been trying to accomplish while working for Dutch Open Projects is to get all our developers Zend Certified. Today, we put the first real step on the road to this goal for the first three developers by getting the nicely priced bundle for three of our developers: Two juniors and…
As I wrote before the adoption of PHP5, so long after it has been released is still quite low, I was surprised by David’s HOWTO on installing PHP6. I know, this one is aimed at those more tech-savvy people who want to fiddle around, but I truely feel that the PHP Group should focus first…
Yet another proof today of the poor adoption of PHP5 in the developer community: Results from a PHPMagazine poll give a whopping 78.5% votes for CakePHP as best PHP Framework, with the runner up being Symfony with 10.9% of the votes. A scary result, when you think that CakePHP is still a PHP4 framework, and…
PHP 10.0 posted about an idea for a php.ini configuration option that would toggle if PHP is running in “production mode”. This would then automatically set some settings, such as disabling display_errors, disallowing phpinfo(), remove or strip expose_php, and ensure not-bad values of memory_limit and max_execution_time. Yeah, nice idea, but I don’t think it will…
Ilia wonders why people are not using PHP5. A good question, which I even asked of the Joomla! developers a while ago. The answer from Joomla! was predictable and logical: Hosting providers have not adopted PHP5 enough to warrant the switch as of now. Joomla! 2.0 will probably be PHP5, but not earlier. According to…
The Joomla!Days are over, let my Joomla!Days begin. When I started working for my current employer I knew they were working with Joomla! and Mambo a lot, and I wasn’t the biggest fan of that CMS. But with 1.5 they have been doing a lot to make it one of the most impressive CMS’es out…
Second day of the dutch Joomla!Days, it’s morning and I’m currently at the Dutch Open Projects stand representing the company. We’re currently looking for 4 coders and possibly an account manager, which we hope to get from the Joomla! community. Or at least get some contacts. Plan for today: 10.15 – 11.00: Keynote speech by…
10:48: I’m sitting here in the lobby. First session has started but I’m not really interested, so I have some time to type the plan for today: 11.15 – 11.50: Joomla! Business Example (United Nations!)11.50 – 12.30: How does Google use and stimulate Open Source (Google!)13.30 – 15.00: Joomla! 1.5 Framework (Joomla!) 11:20: Philippe Chabot…
