Few months ago I got the opportunity to test AppIgnite, and I want to share my experience with AppIgnite with you. What Is AppIgnite? AppIgnite is a web application that allows anybody with a minimal technical knowledge to create web applications. If you know how to work with MS Excel, you’ll be able to produce [...]

To be honest, I think they should name this book differently. Although you do learn exactly how to create a “social network” – users, profilers, events, status stream.. you actually get so much programming information from this book, that I’m afraid that people who wants to learn PHP might miss this book. For example, in [...]

Have you heard about this book already? It explains how to develop a social network with PHP5 and MVC. Most if the chapters talks about pretty simple tasks, what’s more interesting is Chapter 11 – Developing an API, and Chapter 12 – Deployment, Security and Maintenance. I’ll review this book for you once I’ll finish [...]

I want to share with you a question by @garrettbolin on Forrst: Start A Design Firm? A How to Guide By Forrst Users [Click to read the question]. You probably know I’m  a little bit experienced in this field, and I read the question during my morning tea so I was really focused and responded informatively. Lots of [...]

“Pro PHP Refactoring” written by Francesco Trucchia and Jacopo Romei, published by Apress.
This book is for beginners and professional web developers.

I never read a book about refactoring, maybe few chapters or articles here and there, but I never learned this subject. To me it was always just doing what feels right, I never thought about “what technic should I use here…”. If you are like me, and you feel that this book can’t really teach you something, you better take a look at the table of contents [Google Preview in Apress], I’m sure you’ll find few interesting chapters there.

Hi,
Before I begin this post, a clarification: I don’t consider myself a superstar web developer or a very experienced freelancer. I do have 4 years of freelance experience behind me, and so all tips and opinions are based on that.

Most of the freelance work I did until now was web development. And it basically included building a website OR web application for a certain customer.

In this article series I will talk about the different stages of project life cycle, the problems you might face and how deal with them.

This part includes the Pitch and Quote, the beginning of each project.

Recently I came across Expert PHP 5 Tools from Packt Publishing, and I’m getting the review copy very soon. By the information written in Packt’s book page, I see that the book is about all the surrounding of PHP. The IDE, the server, documenting tools and etc. I haven’t read the book yet, but I don’t think [...]

Recently I got an opportunity to use CloudIgniter – Codeigniter Hosting, with your own database and ftp account. In my account I can have 3 domains, I’ve added the first one: helloworld.co.il and I have few options: Platform – CodeIgniter 1.7.2, CodeIgniter 2.0 beta Application – Different versions of PyroCMS and MyClientBase. I chose PyroCMS. [...]

Hi, I wanted to share with you MY_Model I’ve written and use for most of my CodeIgniter apps. 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141/**  * This is the basic model class.  *  * @package – Infrastructure  * @category – Model  * @author – Udi Mosayev @ umNet  */ class MY_Model extends CI_Model {     // The main table name [...]

Hi, Yesterday I wrote about the new CodeIgniter book: CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development By Adam Griffiths. Packt Publishing extracted an article from the book, “Database Interaction with Codeigniter 1.7” which can be very helpful for beginners. You’ll read about the Database class, ActiveRecord and Database Forge class that gives you few methods to perform different [...]
