Getting ready for my fifth software development team

admin — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 10:19:41 +0000

It was several years ago when i started assembling my first software development team, although i didn't have the experience i have today it was a success and the team delivered the expected result. Back then i didn't have any well thought work-flow and my decisions were mostly based on each particular case and experience. today however it's quite different and i take these task very seriously.

Using Actionscript 3 Tween for everything

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:06:30 +0000

If you ever used actionscript 3 then you probabely know that tween class does not work with anything other than simple numeric object properties. This is an issue sometimes becuase you might want to tween a function! or a property of a child object or even an string! There are plenty of third-party classes out there for extending the Tween class, but if you don't need all other features they offer and prefer to keep your swf's size small i must tell that there is solution , a rather easy one actually.

What we're doing to do is using dynamic objects,

Linux Shell Bridge (Passing variables from scripting langauges like PHP to Linux Shell)

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:21:09 +0000

It might sound strange at first but i must say that it's very useful specially if you have shell scripts as part of your application. Usually For making this scripts as automated as possible there should be a way to reuse the application's configurations (ips, passwords , etc) and not having to update a separate configuration file whenever anything changes in the application. It's not limited only to this and can be used to pass any kind of variables.

PHP's forward compatible version compare

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:41:11 +0000

Sometimes the code is forward compatible, for example when it's compatible with all future PHP5 releases, put PHP's version_compare function does not support this (Perhaps because they know that they always break compatibility with every minor release!!!). This function supports .x, for the above example it's : 5.x

It's also shared here

Alpha support for PHP's imagecopymerge function

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:39:31 +0000

I've just checked PHP's issue tracker and a core developer says that this function (imagecopymerge) was never meant to support alpha channel! and they refused to commit the provided patch! so ridicules Anyway i tried rodrigo's workaround and it worked quite well, thanks rodrigo for sharing it. I came up with another idea which is much faster than his solution, (it may need a little bit more memory)

PHP5 and Exception handling

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:07:50 +0000

Introduction

Quite some time ago i dropped php4 support on all of my projects and started thinking how i can benefit from PHP5 new features specially the new exception handling system. due to the fact thatPHP4 had no official exception system, programmers had to come up with their own way for handling exceptions properly , one this solutions was PEAR ERROR which i think was very useful, and i think that even thought PHP5 developers no longer need that technique it still can be used for better code quality in various circumstances.
