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 [...]

EDIT:
This is an old MY_Model library, I use a newer version these day that I’ll share with you as fast as possible.

“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.

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 [...]

The book “CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development” written by Adam Griffiths. I’ve already wrote a little bit about the book before, and Few days ago I got it in the mail and finished reading it already. The author is a well known developer in the CodeIgniter community, who also contributed nice authentication library. So as expected, I saw a [...]

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 [...]

Hi, Recently, new Codeigniter book came out. CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development by Adam Griffiths. Packt Publishing asked me to review this book, so once I’ll get it in the mail I review it for you. Take a look at the TOC of the book, Personally I’m really excited about Chapter 7: Building a Large-Scale Application and Chapter 10: [...]

I started to hear a lot about continuous deployment, which means to deploy every piece of code you commit right away. But what I found more interesting to me is the strong infrastructure needed in order to do that. Eric Ries wrote “Continuous deployment in 5 easy steps” and I really liked the idea of [...]
