“‘Open source software’ seems a radical approach indeed. The term stands for both an iconoclastic philosophy and a software development model: software is distributed free and its ‘source code,’ or underlying instructions, are published openly so that other programmers can study, share and modify the author’s work.” But open source, once viewed as an ideological […]

“So you’ve read about how Object Oriented programming can help you with your big web projects and you’ve started it using with PHP? If you’ve already written a handful of classes to implement a site and you’re methodic, then you should have written some documentation about them. But If you’re just messy like me you’ve […]

“A great deal of Linux users have heard about PHP, the Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP is the engine behind many dynamic Web sites, including this one, Linux.com.

It does a number of things but most importantly it is used to detect the clients subnet then place the distribution server for that subnet into a variable.

“…there has been a proliferation of alternative server-side scripting languages, which perform many of the tasks previously handled by Perl, but have a shorter learning curve. The most well-known of these are ASP and PHP; while the former works primarily on the Windows platform in combination with a clutch of proprietary products, the latter has […]

Christopher Rice    I want to take a step back and describe some of the simpler features offered by Windows 2000 that you might not know about.  There have been some very serious improvements in the usage and flow of information for the common user.  I am going to write a series of articles which […]

Christopher Rice    It will officially be out next month, but it has been moved into manufacturing, so, as far as I can tell, Datacenter Server is done (at least until the Service Packs).  I got a headline type e-mail about this on Friday, but then saw a Reuters article while surfing through the stocks […]

“OK, so you’ve heard all about it, you think you’ve got your head around it. Everyone you speak to says it’s the way real developers develop. How do you do it? What’s in it for you? And how the hell do you do it with PHP?” OK, so you’ve heard all about it, you think […]
