PHP Sucks! But I Like It!
I read a rather interesting post yesterday called PHP: a fractal of bad design. It's been getting a lot of traffic among the PHP community lately because it's rather inflammatory. But to be honest, it does make a lot of really good points. It also makes a lot of mistakes and misses a bigger picture. A Few Mistakes The post makes quite a few mistakes and odd apples to oranges comparisons. Let me point out the major ones that I saw. No Debugger - PHP has xdebug which works quite...

Kicking ass together: How to improve coding skills as a group
Over the last year and a half, I have worked with a small group of students and staff to create an excellent online learning community at Mendicant University. Unfortunately, because Mendicant is something that we’re intentionally scaling at a very slow pace, we won’t directly reach as many people as we’d like to any time soon. In this post, I’ve collected some of the things that I think contribute to making Mendicant University a great place to learn. I’d love...

Besides knowing what they want and what they are looking for, you will have to know how to make it comfortable for them...

A Solution to CPU-intensive Tasks in IO Loops
Back in October 2011, Ted Dziuba infamously said that Node.js is Cancer. A provocative title to a provocative article. The only thing it didn’t really provoke in the commentary was much thought ;) Zing. My interpretation of the article is that Ted holds up the classic blocking-IO process-per-request (or thread per request; same difference) model as superior. Yet we all remember where the blocking-IO forking model got Apache in the early days. ...
