Tuesday, January 27. 2009My framework is better than all other frameworks
"That's right! I've got a framework that can render CRUD screens with just 1 line of code. It can render web pages using the MVC model with the greatest of ease, and no matter how bad you mess up the HTML in the templates and the CSS in your stylesheets, with our make-pretty technology your website will always look sleek. In fact, it will even adapt the lay-out on each request to suit the personal taste of your visitors, while still having the best performance of all frameworks you've ever worked with."
If you're looking for a 'click here to download' link please stop searching, because such a framework doesn't exist. Although this is probably obvious from the example above, I still regularly bump in to people that are very seriously looking for that one framework that's the best in every situation. I have even spoken with developers that had to use Zend Framework for every single project they did because their boss was told that this was the best framework around. Zend Framework is a nice framework that will probably suit your needs in a lot of occasions, but for some jobs another framework may be the better pick.

Friday, January 23. 2009Boost performance with parallel processing
In the past couple of weeks I had to implement parallel processing with PHP twice. Since it was very effective I thought I'd share it with you all.
The idea of parallel processing is when you take an atomic transaction or operation called a 'process' and run a couple of those at the same time. Many programming languages support this via threading or forking. Since most computers have multi core CPU's and can handle multiple processes at the same time your application can benefit from having multiple transactions running at once.

Wednesday, January 14. 2009Basic Search Engine Optimization guidelines
A while ago I had to do a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ticket for our blog. But small as this fix actually was, changes are already visible in the search results of common search engines. The problem was that regardless of the user that wrote the blog, they all had the title 'Ibuildings Blogs'. Search engines are really not so bright and think: same title equals same article. Blog posts could only be found by searching for a part of the sentence in the post itself, which isn't an ideal situation at all. Being a PHP developer and not one our SEO specialists, I got interested in the topic, and decided to share my findings in this post. What I wanted to find out was, what are important best practices for this so called search engine optimization?
With my favorite search engine I started looking for some answers, sites about SEO should be easy to find, rephrase, on top of the search list! According to what I've found I made a sort of short and easy dos & don'ts list. For the sake of example, I'll use a non existent shoe store called, how inventive, fake-shoe-store.com. Continue reading "Basic Search Engine Optimization guidelines" Thursday, January 8. 2009Book Review: TYPO3 Extension Development
A couple of months ago I started working on a Typo3 project for a client, and at about the same time I was asked by the folks at Packt Publishing to review a book, so the choice fell naturally on "Typo3 Extension Development" by Dmitry Dulepov.
The book, published in September 2008, covers the entire extension development life cycle, from planning to uploading it to the Typo3 Extension Repository (TER). Continue reading "Book Review: TYPO3 Extension Development"
