Nice PHP article from the Masters

9, Sep 2008

It’s a nice read and I love that there are outright conflicting viewpoints on the use of frameworks. Ultimately, you have to do what is best for you but this is a good article from people who know what they are doing and their insight is invaluable whether you agree with it or not.

Another smart move by Adobe

7, Nov 2006

So what might this really be about? Let’s see, Mozilla is the one browser really supporting the SVG standard and what happens when you have an Ecmascript compliant vector graphic-enabled browser? Flash begins to look expensive. It’s still a long way off but making this move early on is a smart move [...]
