Linux is Best for PHP Development
,----[ Quote ]
| This is not really a RULE, but it is pretty
| cool to know that the server on your laptop
| or home pc is actually set up exactly like
| the server you are going to run your
| application on. The reasons? Quite simply,
| you will be developing on a local server
| (localhost) that is usually Windows-based,
| right? And when you deploy your application
| / website, it is going to run on a Linux
| server? The semantics might not mean
| anything to you, but what is important is
| that Windows-based servers are not really
| case sensitive. In other words, you could
| have a url like
| http://mysite.com/folderName/ when you set
| up your website on your Windows localhost.
| Mostly you might think this looks cool. So
| you set up all of your links like that, and
| everything is just perfect. Then off you go
| and upload your site to your webserver
| and...well, the link does not work, even
| though you have tested everything a million
| times. I promise you--because I have done
| it--that you will not think about the
| capitalization the first time it happens to
| you. Trust me. All you get is a "page not
| found" error even though you know the page
| exists. Frustrating and time killing if you
| have more than ten links on your website.
| Besides that, Linux is a very stable
| environment to develop on. Our company
| development server is an Ubuntu-based OS
| that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and
| has never, ever been shut down or turned off
| in the last four years. In that same time it
| has never crashed or frozen. To me that is
| respectable.

The times they are a-changinâ
,----[ Quote ]
| As some of you might already know, my next
| step, which has had me bouncing off the
| walls for the last month, is to join the
| great folks at Collabora Multimedia working
| on the PulseAudio sound server. Iâll be
| working from home here, in Bangalore (in
| your face, 1.5-hour commute!). It is
| incredibly exciting for me to be working
| with a talented bunch of folks and actively
| contributing to open source software as part
| of my work!

PHP enters top 3 of most popular programming languages
,----[ Quote ]
| The company TIOBE, founded in 2000, is involved heavily
| with Software Quality. They call themselves 'the coding
| standards company' and deliver tools to assess the quality
| of software by checking coding standards, among other
| things. Unfortunately, despite the fact that their website
| is written in PHP, they do not support PHP yet with their
| tools (at least as far as I can tell from their website),
| but they have one activity that is of interest to us in
| the PHP ecosystem: they collect statistics on the
| popularity of programming languages and have been doing
| this for a few years now.

How PHP became such a huge success
,----[ Quote ]
| Rasmus Lerdorf is undoubtedly the most famous Greenlandic geek alive. Having
| created PHP as a bunch of hackish scripts to support his website in 1995, he
| turned it into a powerful, fully fledged language that's now used by millions
| around the world.

Deploying PHP Across Windows and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The popular scripting language has become more versatile than ever before.
| Today, it's not just the domain of Linux and Apache fans, even Windows users
| can enjoy its benefits. Here, we compare it on three platforms.
