symfony – my framework of choice?
I’ve tried out a number of frameworks in the past and have been unable to settle on one. Until now. Symfony has – for the most part – won me over. It’s my framework of choice.
Here’s why…
YAML configuration files
ability to use components from both Zend Framework and eZ Components
lots of best practises
Doctrine comes “built in”
active [...]
Language gems
An article on seldom used PHP functions made its way into my feed reader. It’s a useful resource and has made me wonder what other parts of the PHP language I’m neglecting to take advantage of.
Developing an iPhone UI
I stumbled upon an idea for a project earlier whilst learning Spanish and I’m starting to piece together a formal definition of both the problem I want to solve and its solution.
I’ve mentioned that as part of the solution, the website should be available on mobile devices. That means two UIs. However, building the UI [...]
Project Euler – Problem 2
Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …
Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the sequence which do not exceed four million.

This is [...]
Project Euler – Problem 1
If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

I solved the problem using Java as it’s the language that I’m currently [...]
Project Euler
I’m currently learning Java – it’s my language for 2010. In a bid to get more comfortable with its basic structures, I’ve decided to try solving some of the problems on Project Euler.
I’ll post my solutions to each of the problems and my thoughts on the problems in subsequent posts.

Building web applications using ASP .NET
[ad#content2]I’ve always built my web apps, and scripts using PHP. In fact, PHP is the only language I’ve ever really programmed in. I’ve built basic bits and pieces in other languages, but nothing of more than 100 lines of code. Perhaps I should give another language a chance?
It’s important to diversify your skill set, you [...]

My journey with Ruby so far…
I thought I’d take a break from my series on creating content, and write about one of my goals for 2008. Back in my post for goals for 2008, I said I wanted to learn a programming language. The language I choose was Ruby, and I’ve learnt an awful lot already.
I’ve been learning Ruby for [...]
