Latest podcast episode up. I cover feedback from the last episode (thanks on the questions answered everyone!). A few news tidbits cropped up - Perl on Rails, Seaside was brought to my attention, I point over to Paul Spoerry’s blog to a great list of resources for web developers, and I wrap up with a [...]

I put up a new webdevradio podcast last week, day after Thanksgiving (or was it the day before? I forget now). Anyway, I’ve turned on the comments - apparently there was a bug that was stopping it from working - and am inviting more feedback and audio comments from listeners. The podcast is short this [...]

Specifically of technical books. I’ve got a small backlog of books I wanted reviewed for techbookreviews.com. I thought I had more time than I did, but I don’t (isn’t that always how it goes?). So, in the interests of time and getting other people besides myself involved, I’d like to invite some of you to [...]

I got a question from my brother the other day about why Mandriva wasn’t as well received as a distro. It’s his primary distro, and was mine for about 2 years. I don’t think there’s all that much ‘wrong’ with it, but I went to ubuntu about 2 years ago, mostly to ride the momentum [...]

This is a general question, but possibly aimed at the PHP crowd more because it’s often easier to cut corners when doing development than in other languages.
“Cutting corners” can mean almost anything from skipping unit tests to skipping documentation to lax variable names to almost anything that you know isn’t optimal but you skip for [...]

Wow… via Patrick Mueller @ IBM I found a post on techrepublic stating that ‘PHP is doomed’. Patricks’ response is done pretty well, but I thought I’d add a few observations as well.
The original poster’s point that PHP is doomed stems from a lack of threading model in PHP. While I’d say [...]

Couldn’t think of a better title for this, but it’s not that newsworthy or anything - I’m just putting this here because it’s one of the better explanations of why some advocacy works and some doesn’t, yet still succint…

Today I had to get perl up and running on a new CentOS machine, and I remembered why I don’t like perl. I tried to do everything from the CPAN system. I got things working after hunting and doing things by hand, but the crux of the problem was:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
