  • PHP Advent 2009 / You Don’t Need All That
    Notes
    "The point I am trying to make is we’re getting a little crazy with our architectures. These days, we write PHP just like Java, but it’s not Java. It works completely differently, and we shouldn’t try to force patterns that aren’t necessarily the best fit. You don’t need all that. Just write good code."

  • XUI | javascript micro-framework
    Notes
    "We hear your words. Why another JavaScript framework?! When development of PhoneGap was under way we noticed slow load times for modern JavaScript frameworks (such as Prototype, MooTools, YUI, Ext and (yes) even jQuery. A big reason why these libraries are so big is because is mostly they contain a great deal of cross browser compatibility code. The mobile space has less browser implementations (so far) and different needs. Thus XUI."

  • Everything You Need to Get Started With CodeIgniter - NETTUTS
    Notes
    "CodeIgniter is a web application framework for PHP. It enables developers to build web applications faster, and it offers many helpful code libraries and helpers which speed up tedious tasks in PHP. CodeIgniter is based on a modular design; meaning that you can implement specific libraries at your discretion - which adds to the speed of the framework. This tutorial will attempt to show you the basics of setting up the framework, including how to build a basic hello world application that uses the MVC approach. "

  • Advogato: Blurring of MVC lines: Programming the Web Browser.
    Notes
    I think this whole "abstract the browser away behind my favorite language" thing is kind of batshit insane. The problem is, though, I've yet to think out a well-articulated argument against it and the arguments for seem very compelling. Of course, I also happen to *like* JavaScript. "Only by going the whole hog - fully into Javascript, augmented by Compiler Technology such as GWT and Pyjamas (and more specifically Unity) that allows both the Web Server and the Web Client to be programmed in exactly the same language - can the MVC approach be properly implemented and the user's expectations be satisfied, and thus both the developers' and the user's lives made easier. Gmail is the quintessential example of how this "whole-hog-Javascript" MVC approach can be achieved successfully. "

  • Mojo Web Framework
    Notes
    "Back in the early days of the web there was this wonderful Perl library called CGI.pm , many people only learned Perl because of it. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojo is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology. "

  • rc3.org — Filtering versus conditional logic
    Notes
    "What I’m wondering is why more server-side frameworks don’t have similar selector-based DOM manipulation tools built in. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could attach such filters to views on the server side and manipulate the output page before it’s presented? Why isn’t this more common?"

  • Foo Hack » YUI’s “Module Pattern” vs. Prototype’s Class Function
    Notes
    Interesting perspective, with which I agree somewhat. Though, there's certainly something to be said for building a domain-specific language of convenience for DOM manipulation. "The more time someone spends building applications with a library like Prototype, the further they get from Javascript, and the more dependent they become on the library. By contrast, time spent using YUI tends to breed developers who are experts in Javascript, and that skill is far more useful than being an expert in a particular library."

    Notes
    Wow, "X" - what an unsearchably-named framework. "X is a collection of loosely-bound, cross-browser, Javascript functions and objects. It is intended to be a resource from which you pick and choose - you do not have to include the entire library in your application. It contains core DOM/Style functions, unobtrusive enhancements, utility functions, objects such as menus and tab panels, and also has some experimental stuff. I've been developing this library since 2001 (I started its predecessor around 1999). Thanks to thousands of people like yourself X has been extensively tested on a wide range of operating systems and browsers. Thanks to your contributions X continues to improve, grow and evolve."
