book for learning and consolidating the important concepts,
techniques, tools and other products for developing database
applications with PHP.
Book Review: Beginning PHP4 Databases
Book Review: Beginning PHP4 Databases
11/24/2002 12:34 PMMany 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.

08/05/2002 10:44 PMBetween 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.

fast-paced drill on the rudimentaries of PHP (although the fast-paced
installation instructions come in the form of classic compendia --
worth 100 pages) for seasoned programmers, before it plunges head
straight into the more advanced areas of the language. Each chapter
reads a bit like a tutorial on a particular area of advanced PHP
development."

Professional PHP4 XML review
09/24/2002 12:21 PMLooking 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."

we have an XML document and we want to create PHP objects from the
information in the document. These objects can then be used for
different tasks depending on the application that needs them. This is
known as the XMLable pattern.

pure PHP support for IMAP and SMTP, and renders all pages in pure HTML
4.0 for maximum compatibility across browsers. It also has MIME
support, folder manipulation, etc. Today, new releases of both the
stable and the development distribution have seen the light.
The stable release incorporates many bugfixes and stability
enhancements, most notable fixes: the areas of register_globals,
session handling and preferences should all work more reliable. We
hope this release solves the most common problems with the stable
distribution.
The devel release has seen many code rewrites that should result in a
faster and more reliable SquirrelMail. The 1.3.2 release is one step
closer to bringing 1.3 to stable.

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot?
A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot?
12/18/2003 12:58 PMIt took years for researchers to figure out how to make a robot be
able to stand and walk on two legs. In fact, it's so complicated,
that some researchers are giving up on that idea and
using
Segway balancing technology on their robots instead of legs.
However, the folks at Sony seem to have taken the concept of the
upright walking robot one step further: they've figured out
how to make a
robot run. That's right, it actually leaves the ground at
points while jogging along. It apparently needs a bit of a walking
start to get up to speed, and even at running speed, it's more of a
slow jog - where it's feet barely leave the ground. Still, it's a
start, and with some more work, they believe they can really make the
robot run.

different joints are powered by a single motor, and there is even
software to pre-script the movements on your computer and play them
back again and again. Probably a little out of most casual robotics

requests, heads to the approximate location of the title on a shelf,
and uses digital cameras to read the spines. The toughest challenge is
engineering a grasper with "fingernails" to pull out the book,

"It is mimicking the way we manipulate our hands. We have
constant feedback from tactile sensors, so it is moving very slowly.
In the first experiments, the books really got damaged because it was

dogs that can carry a soldier's field equipment and keep up with the

pounds of ammunition, food, and equipment. The long term challenge is
making a four legged robot that can move as fast and quietly as a man
