Web services are a distributed computing architecture - as are Common Object Request Broker (CORBA), Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and dozens of other preceding architectures. The purpose of a distributed computing architecture is to enable programs in one environment to communicate and share data/content with programs in another environment.

Launch Xcode. Xcode will keep track of all the resources that go into your application. All these resources will be kept in a directory called the project directory. The first step in developing a new application is to create a new project directory with the default skeleton of an application.

Book Review: Beginning PHP4 Databases

Book Review: Beginning PHP4 Databases 11/24/2002 12:34 PM
Many people think that i'm some kind of database guru because i wrote a popular database abstraction library. Well you want to know a secret... I'm not an expert of databases, i just muddle my way through MySQL, i could never figure out how to compile PostgreSQL on Windows, I don't know so many things. I'm actually a generalist. I can code a bit in Javascript, I know some C++, PHP and a thousand other useless languages. A generalist is pretty good thing to be in technology, because computers and software changes so fast and if you spend too much time specializing you're already a dinosaur before you turn 40. So what has this got to do with the book Beginning PHP4 Databases? Well it turns out that this book (sent to me by Wrox) appears to be for beginners but is actually meant for a different audience, people like me: generalists. In typical Wrox fashion, we get an army of smart programmers to write about their fields of expertise. The may know their databases, but the writing is a bit too technical for real beginners. I still liked the book, and it took me a couple of days to realize why. The book is actually an overview of different database technologies, including relational databases, XML databases and object-relational ones. The book goes into some technical depth on each type of database, shows you how to model and normalize databases, and has examples using the native database api's and PEAR DB, shows us how to interface to Xindice (an XML database), and use the object-relational stuff in PostgreSQL. You get to learn a lot about databases you might never use! Conclusion: The book has decent content covering many database topics, but is more like a collection of essays on different databases than a cohesive whole. In other words the book has all the advantages and defects of the Wrox team of authors approach. The book is good value if you are someone interested in database technology and want to learn more about what's available today for PHP. "zeldman.58"

Mind Wide Open excerpt

Mind Wide Open excerpt 02/18/2004 10:53 AM
Salon is running a long excerpt from Steven Johnson's mindblowing new book, Mind Wide Open, which I read last week and have been returning to in my thoughts several times a day. Johnson takes apart the jargon and theory of various kinds of brain and mind science and exposes us to a bunch of aha! moments about the physiological, evolutionary and non-material bases for our thought processes. Reading this book, you get this curious form of vertigo in which you begin to see your brain as a collection of chemicals and processes and physiological serendipities, and then realize that that very same collection of goo is the thing that is having this realization, and boy, that's a weird goddamned feeling. As for me, after reading this I'm in the market for a cheap travel-sized USB neurofeedback EEG.

Areas that do show noticeable changes appear on the images as a cluster of bright yellow pixels, fading out to orange and red at their peripheries. The images look strikingly like the Doppler radar images you see on the Weather Channel. (If you blur your eyes a little, you might think that yellow patch on the image was a thunderhead, not a brainstorm.) The image is projected over a grid with numbers running along each axis. The numbered grid and the slices create a three-dimensional system of coordinates, the latitude and longitude of neuromapping. The grid is made up of small cubes called "voxels," and each voxel has a specific address.

Joy begins by laying down the twenty-five slices for stage one of our experiment, the dreaded checkerboard. The pattern of activity is immediately visible, even to my untutored eyes, mostly because there's literally nothing going on in 95 percent of my brain. Only a thin band wrapping around the back of my head, roughly at ear level, glows yellow.

"We know that the flashing checkerboard is a very salient stimulus for just the visual processing areas of the brain," she says. "And that's exactly what's happening here."

Between Wrox Professional PHP4 XML and New Riders XML and PHP book, it is hard to recommend one or the other because both are very well written and cover pretty much the same topic that matter to anybody developing XML applications with PHP. If you can afford them, it would probably be a good idea to purchase both as there may be details that may be slightly clearer in one book than in the other.

Professional PHP4 XML review 09/24/2002 12:21 PM
Looking across the XML bookshelf today, it's easy to see many books discussing XML in a generic manner, or more commonly how to utilize XML within Java, .NET and Perl. Moreover, despite the broad based support that PHP has for XML, there has been no book that tackled the complexities and best practices, and at the same time offered a comprehensive resource to the XML-based APIs -- at least not until now. Read on for more about the best selling Professional PHP4 XML." -- SpinDoctor

World's Worst Excerpt -- The Least
Healthy Diet: Breatharianism

World's Worst Excerpt -- The Least
Healthy Diet: Breatharianism 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: For the next several weeks, I'm going to post essays from my new book THE WORLD'S WORST: A Guide to the Most Disgusting, Hideous, Inept and Dangerous, People, Places and Things on Earth. (See last week's entry: " The Least Adorable Pet: Miracle Mike The Headless Chicken")

"The Least Healthy Diet: Breatharianism

If you're a vegetarian, you might feel morally superior to meat eaters. If you're a vegan, eschewing all animal products, you most likely turn up your nose at weak-willed vegetarians who succumb to cheese. Fruitarians, who consume only fruit, nuts, and seeds, are haughtier still. But at the very top of the holier-than-thou diet list are breatharians, who claim to subsist on nothing but air and light. They don't even need to drink water.

The most well-known advocate of breatharianism is Jasmuheen (nee Ellen Greve), a former businesswoman from Australia who claims she hasn't eaten any real food since 1993. (Her last meal was a falafel ball.) In her book Living on Light, the Source of Nourishment for the New Millennium, Jasmuheen writes about how "Ascended Masters" speak to her via cosmic telepathy and how she is able to draw upon invisible "pranic energy" for her sustenance. She boasts of having more than 6,000 followers. Because she doesn't eat, she says, she excretes only "rabbit-type droppings every three weeks."

Skeptics abound. On more than one occasion, reporters have discovered that Jasmuheen's house has food in it. She explains that the food is actually for her husband, Jess Ferguson, a vegan (as well as a convicted felon who served time for fraud). In one instance, an Australian journalist who was on the same flight as Jasmuheen was surprised to see an airline attendant ask the cult leader to confirm that she'd ordered a vegetarian meal. After initially denying that she had, she said, "Yes, I did, but I won't be eating it." (Perhaps she only wanted to save the vegetables from being eaten.)

In a 1997 interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a reporter asked Jasmuheen if she'd eaten anything at all since starting her diet. She replied, "Maybe a few cups of tea and a glass of water, but now and then if I feel a bit bored and I want some flavor, then I will have a mouthful of whatever it is I'm wanting the flavor of. So it might be a piece of chocolate or it might be a mouthful of a cheesecake or something like that."

The reporter then asked her if she'd be willing to take a blood test to back up her claim that her DNA was changing shape from 2 strands to 12, in order to absorb more hydrogen. Jasmuheen answered, "Oh that depends. What I'd rather do is people go and have a look at the work of the Dalai Lama for example. Like in 1991--" The reporter interrupted her, asking her again why she wouldn't take the blood test, especially since the Australian Skeptics organization was offering her $30,000 if she could prove her DNA had changed. She said, "For blood test for DNA, I don't know. I'd have to really think about that one. I don't know what the relevance for it is."

In 1999 Jasmuheen agreed to undergo a challenge issued by 60 Minutes in Australia. She was confined to a hotel room and placed under a doctor's care. When she showed signs of high blood pressure, dehydration, and stress after only two days, she blamed it on air pollution. The show's producers moved her to a mountain retreat, where she said the air was much better. But after another two days, it was clear that she was ill: her speech was slow, her pupils were dilated, her pulse almost double. The doctor said Jasmuheen was so dehydrated that her kidneys were in danger of being damaged. 60 Minutes called off the experiment. Jasmuheen said it was the show's fault for putting her in a hotel next to a busy road at the beginning.

To date, three of Jasmuheen's followers have starved to death. One of them, 53-year-old Lani Morris of Melbourne, was seven days into the breatharian diet when she lost the ability to speak and the use of one arm. When Morris died three days later, Jasmuheen suggested that the woman was "not coming from a place of integrity and did not have the right motivation."

PHP 5 and the integrated Zend Engine 2 have greatly improved PHP's performance and capabilities, but great care has been taken to break as little existing code as possible. So migrating your code from PHP 4 to 5 should be very easy. Most existing PHP 4 code should be ready to run without changes, but you should still know about the few differences and take care to test your code before switching versions in production environments. -- Nuno Lopes

To be accurate, we solved the BC issue but for people who want to
use the
