I am an atypically avid reader who focuses largely on non-fiction. As I read, there are always some facts I want to note for later reference. I have tried highlighting, notebooks, filing folders - they all had the same draw-back: they were not searchable. Looking now for software, I found few good options; the best of the bunch was Google Notebook, whch worked okay ... until it was discontinued. So I've kicked off a project of of my own - an open source filing cabinet application.
This blog covers the basic roadmap I intend to follow and the features that I am planning to include.

Recently, I began exploring the most recent versions of the some popular PHP frameworks to see which one I liked best. In a previous post, I discussed the merits of using a PHP framework and some common features. In today's blog, I discuss what I noted as the pros and cons of one of these libraries: Zend Framework. |

For the Filecab project, I chose to employ Zend Framework for the business tier. However, being very familiar with the Doctrine object-to-relational mapping (ORM) library for PHP, I chose to empoy it in lieu of Zend Framework's Zend_Db component (which is still in its infancy in terms of functionality). This blog shows how to integrate Doctrine with Zend Framework - and how easily Zend Framework can be used with 3rd party libraries.

We Should Leverage PHP Frameworks More Than We Do |

One of PHP's chief advantages over other web languages (like Java) is its ease of implementation - especially in small or incremental projects. Simply by embedding 20 lines of PHP code within pre-existing HTML, one can have a running comment board, guest book, or contact form. On consulting engagements in which I recommend a Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) stack, one question that often arises is "if you advocate PHP for our project for its simplicity, why add the overhead of an entire framework?" This is a valid question and deserves a few words. |
