symfony 1.2: It's not just about code

The first day of december started well: It meant the release of the new symfony 1.2.0 version. Aside from the additions and improvements in the code, this new branch of symfony also reinstates an old tradition in symfony: It comes paired with a huge amount of documentation in many forms. Let's have a look at what symfony 1.2 has to offer.

ATK's hidden gems, part 2

ATK contains lots of hidden gems. Most of them are hidden because they are undocumented or because they are only documented in the API docs (which nobody seems to read...). In the past few years we've tried to improve the documentation for ATK. We've created a Wiki with lots of how-to's, the "Pizza Guides", a demo application and improved the API documentation. However there are still some features of ATK nobody seems to know about.

In this second iteration of the "ATK's hidden gems" series we will look at a largely unknown feature of ATK's record actions.

7 Simple PHP Best Practices

I recently read a good quote by Larry Wall (creator of Perl) saying "Real programmers can write assembly code in any language.".
The truth is: writing flexible, robust, elegant and readable/debuggable code is really really really really hard, especially in a language as 'free' as PHP is.
But as with all things, practice (and constant improvement) makes perfect and over the years I've picked up a lot of 'rules of thumb' that I believe make my code just a little bit 'better'.

These last couple of months I've been documenting some of them and today I'd like to share some of the more interesting ones.

Veelzijdigheid van documenten

Microsoft introduceert met Office 2007 een nieuw documentformaat, XPS (XML Paper Specification). Afgelopen week heeft Adobe, marktleider op het gebied van digitale documenten met PDF-formaat, aangekondigd zelf ook een open formaat uit te brengen.

Maar wat is nu allemaal de bedoeling van die op XML gebaseerde formaten?
