PHP-Tip: Commenting your code

This really isn’t a PHP-tip, but more like a programming tip. But since I do most of my development in PHP (and some in C#, and some on VB) I put it up as a PHP-tip. So there. This post is all about commenting. Some do it, some don’t. I tend to do it. Sometimes [...]

Why I am considering moving back to Windows

I’ve been a Linux Ubuntu Desktop user for quite some time now. Ever since I experienced how Linux could save an old laptop. And I must admit. It is nice to not think about viruses and such, not that this is something that worries me when I am using a computer with Windows installed. It [...]

Rapid Application Development under Linux

Or you can use any other language and use IDEs like Komodo, Eclipse and so on. Coming from the Windows side of [...]

Version numbers count

In an episode of TuxRadar they asked: Does Version numbers count? My response: Yes. Why? Read on. Quite a few Open Source software on the Linux platform is in version 0.x.x., and after listening to the episode I started to wonder why. Why is InkScape in version 0.47, when I think that the software is [...]
