Groceries Online Catching On In NYC







Groceries Online Catching On In NYC

Groceries Online Catching On In NYC 04/06/2005 09:36 PM

The online grocery market has certainly gone through its share of ups and downs . However, over the past few years there have been a bunch of stories about a next generation of online grocery stores that seem to be getting more traction. One of the more famous is FreshD irect in New York City -- where online grocery shopping makes a lot more sense. Apparently, residents there agree, as a new study shows that more than half of NYC residents have tried online groceries -- though, that doesn't mean they all have been happy with it. Still, it does suggest that there's demand for such a service in some places (especially urban), if it's done right.

AP - After the spectacular crashes of big-name Internet grocers in the late 1990s, the dream of a grand new wave of online food stores appeared to fizzle. But with intentionally meager fanfare, grocers have made Internet shopping available to tens of millions of consumers nationwide, and upcoming expansions will expand it to millions more.

Still catching up 04/09/2004 04:03 PM

As noted earlier, a pinched nerve in my neck is making it very hard for me to type - in fact, for the past several days I haven't been able to type for more than five minutes at a time. Somehow, though, I'm almost caught up with my email, but many questions in the support newsgroups remain unanswered. I hope to handle them all this week, but it all depends on how much longer it takes to recover.

I've been seeing a physical therapist for a few weeks, but the results haven't been good so tomorrow I'm visiting a chiropractor for the first time in my life. Wish me luck :)

Catching up with Harry


Catching up with Harry 02/17/2004 11:57 PM

I'm not sure how I missed this, but Harry Fueck's new book The PHP Anthology was published by SitePoint back in December, as a hefty 2 volume epic. Harry is the guru behind PHP Patterns and really knows his stuff. While the book is at first glance a cookbook for solving web related problems, Harry also uses it as a platform for teaching sensible development practises:

Between the lines I've focused on teaching OOP by example, partly by developing classes in the book and also by taking advantage of Open Source class libraries I'm familiar with; in most cases projects from PEAR.

That's also where I'd say The PHP Anthology is unique, in it aims to get readers to avoid re-inventing wheels already done many times in PHP. Although many of the subjects have been seen before (often online), the focus here is either to use an Open Source class library or put one together, solving a problem once and for all, as opposed a hacked script that goes half way.

Sample chapters from the books are available online, including an excellent explanation of caching techniques. Harry is also one of my co-bloggers over at SitePoint where he writes about (you guessed it) PHP in Dynamically Typed.

Catching the Pattern Wave


Catching the Pattern Wave 01/13/2003 08:08 PM
Catching the Pattern Wave Like Jeremy I'm starting to get the whole pattern gig (starting). All it took was using Harry's wonderful strategy pattern for validation (which I've extended a bunch of ways already). Now Harry has another one: Observers. The Observer Pattern is designed to help cope with one to many relationships between objects, allowing changes in an object to update many associated objects. It provides a powerful mechanism to extend our applications, in terms of how they respond to events, without needing alter existing (and working) code. We'll take a simplified look at how the observer pattern might be used in a typical PHP forum application then suggest other uses for the observer pattern ... The Observer pattern is defined by the Gang of Four in Design Patterns as behavioural pattern - that is one we can use to modify the behaviour of our applications. It's regarded as being so useful, that Sun bothered to implement it in the Java API (see Observable and Observer). The basic principle behind the observer pattern is if you have some object, such as a Post object for a forum system, you can have other objects, such as a Mailer object, act as an observer and respond to any changes in the Post object, such as emailing relevant forums users that a new post has been added to the thread they were subscribed to. Conceptually, the Observer pattern in something like a trigger in a database, which runs a stored procedure when a table row is modified for example (we won't go too far with this analogy though). Normally we might implement the mailing functionality in the Post object itself but what if later we want add further "events" to Post, when a new post is made, such as adding an entry to our forums RSS feed for example? And how many more things might we want to add in future? The observer pattern provides us the mechanism to add such functionality without needing to alter the Post object. [_Go_] Have I fully read this through, tried it out, etc? No. Will I? Almost certainly.

Catching Light In A Bottle


Catching Light In A Bottle 12/11/2003 02:43 AM
Apparently, some physicists have come up with a way to bri ng light to a screeching halt - if only for a tiny fraction of a second. It's believed this may be helpful in creating quantum computers (though, many people are still wondering if quantum computers will ever get anywhere. Of course, the bad joke on this is that maybe the problem is that they're trying to create quantum computers, which means they will never work. It's only when they don't try to create quantum computers that they will work...). You may recall that some physicists claimed to have stopped light in its tracks back in 2001. Apparently, that was nothing compared to what just happened, but my physics is a bit too rusty to understand the difference.

Catching Uncaught Exceptions


Catching Uncaught Exceptions 06/10/2004 09:46 AM
Continuing my belief that the best way to learn the fine art of programming is to learn from your better looking neighbours, here's a very interesting article on using exceptions in Java that can be applied to PHP5. Dr Kabutz (love the name), gives several excellent real-world examples of how hard it is to handle exceptions.

Of course there are exceptions to the exceptions. Don't use an exception when:

  • the error is not really an error, but a change of state, such an end-of-file condition. Confusing this point is the most common beginner mistake.

  • you want to write obfusticated code because your job has been made redundant :-)

  • the error is so difficult to fix that you have to write custom code at the point the error occurred.

  • you're still using PHP3, and planning to upgrade to PHP4 next year :-)

  • you are doing something mission-critical, and you want to enumerate and handle every possible error where it occurs, to ensure safety and timeliness.

  • your very experienced boss tells you that it's better to return an error code that is ignored than raise an exception that is ignored :-)

tri: Dou g Ross opinion on exceptions, and my response. I also stumbled onto Jeff's response while browsing around.
