In a new article on Sitepoint, David Mytton explains why coding standards are important not only to the individual developer or development team, but to the script users as well. He takes a problem-solution approach to creating maintainable code, peeks at different coding standards, and also has a zip file of his own coding standards that you may want to use.

Coding Frenzy

Coding Frenzy 05/14/2004 09:02 AM
Warning: techtalk follows, you may freely skip this if your eyes glaze over at the word "XML".

I've been in a coding frenzy for the past couple of days. JSPWiki has had some considerable additions, here being the relevant part of the ChangeLog:

2004-05-14  Janne Jalkanen 
<Janne.Jalkanen@nospam.ecyrd.com>

        * v2.1.97.

        * Added preliminary support for the Atom blog API.  It still
does
        not yet completely work, however.

I'll be a non-productive member of the society for the next three-four days (another wedding? Don't people get tired of these things already?), so nothing much may happen. But yeah, I nearly got ecto working with JSPWiki.

There is still however a question on how the blog and wiki apis should interact. You see, the page Main on this site is both a weblog and a wiki page. I'm having trouble, you see:

• GET to /atom/ lists all wiki pages (which means that even on this site, there are a lot of them) - not just the weblogs (since every page can be a weblog, even the weblog entry pages)
• GET to /atom/Main... Should it list all of the blog entries, or should it GET the Wiki page content? Both are valid interpretations...

I'm confused... Which is the correct way to handle this? Should a WikiWebl og combination have separate URIs for Wiki and Weblog functionality? Isn't that kinda redundant?

A specially shaped camera lens and processing method to ensure images are always in focus has been developed. Physicist Dr Andy Harvey said it was a "simple system with a simple lens" which uses an optical encoder so that no information in images is lost. Developed primarily for military night vision cameras, the technology could find its way into camera phones.

Useful Applescripts for coding PHP in
BBEdit

Useful Applescripts for coding PHP in
BBEdit 12/12/2003 07:48 PM
At work I spend a lot of time coding, which means I also spend a lot of time using BBEdit . Thankfully it's a fantastic program with excellent Applescript integration. As a PHP coder, I thought I'd share some of the great Applescripts that are out there to enhance your coding experience, and hopefully save you some time. VoidFil lPHP This is a PHP code completion script. Type the beginning of function name, hit F1 (or whatever key you've assigned it to), and it provides a list a potential matches (e.g. type html and you can choose from html_entity_decode, htmlentities or htmlspecialchars). Search php.net for selection It does what it says on the tin. Highlight a PHP function or keyword, hit the assigned key combination, and it fires up a browser window and searches through the manual on php.net for the function or keyword. Very useful if you've not got a PHP reference book handy. PHP Syntax Check Written by John Gruber (a former Bare Bones developer, so he obviously knows a thing or two), this flexible script can scan your document for PHP parsing errors (highlighting the problematic lines). The script can also replace the built-in HTML Document Syntax command, so it can check the syntax of your HTML also. Pretty nifty huh? What other Applescripts make your BBEdit life easier?

Friendster, PHP, Java, and Coding
Platforms

Friendster, PHP, Java, and Coding
Platforms 07/05/2004 07:33 PM

Friendster goes PHP: This is good news. I hate to dis Java, but, well, I hate it. Always have.

...on Friday we launched a platform rearchitecture based on loose-coupling, web standards, and a move from JSP (via Tomcat) to PHP. The website doesn't look much different, but hopefully we can now stop being a byword for unacceptably poky site performance.

Related to this, here's something that just threw me for a loop the other day —

A long time ago, I developed an open source app for churches. The app is very simple to set up and get running. I wrote it back when I didn't know the first thing about object-oriented programming, and the code certainly won't win any awards, but it did a job and did it very well. A lot of churches got it up and running and benefitted from it.

I gave up the project to someone else two years ago, and the guy who owns it now is doing great things with it. However, he just anounced that the app is being re-written in J2EE. Here's what he said:

As for J2EE, there is plenty reason why this needs to be the direction for future development of [App Name] and, in fact, all other Open Source enterprise software. PHP simply does not scale and does not offer the richness of development tools that J2EE does through the many open source projects implementing and surrounding it. There are a lot of misconceptions about J2EE that abound because many people/companies misuse/misunderstand it. It is not difficult/expensive to set up, it is not harder to develop for (past the learning curve), and it is certainly not slow (in fact, performance is one reason we are moving away from PHP's limiting CGI-like architecture).

PHP is only good for simple, lightweight web apps. J2EE is good for professional enterprise-class applications, which is what [App Name] is going to become. In the end, [App Name] development is going to become faster and far more professional and the software itself is going to become far more reliable, extensible and sophisticated.

I am wickedly biting my tonque over this, but, I tell you, I could not disagree more completely with everything this guy has written. BUT — it's not my project anymore, and this guy has really done good things with it in terms of developing a community and adding functionality. Perhaps the benefits he brought there will offset this error.

(I'm not going to mention the name of the project, because I don't want to start a war of words or anything. If you know the name of the project, please keep it to yourself. I hate to censor anything, but I'll get rid of any comments that identify the app or the developer. Thanks.)

After that little rant, it may seem strange for me to say that I'm trying not to get hung up on platforms lately. My buddy Matt has been pelting my with .Net propaganda, and Joe told me that it's fantastic as well ("I tried really hard to hate it..."). This being the case, I'm trying to stay platform neutral these days and concentrate on app design and usability, without regard for what platform the app is written in.

I've recently use PHP to write perhaps the best app I've ever designed, but I'm trying not to identify it with PHP so much. I'm trying to think that the value of the app is in the design, the flow, and the usability, and that we could re-write it in any platform that makes sense. (See this post for much more on this note.)

So why am I so hot about the aofrementioned Java re-write? Because that app is designed for organizations with very, very limited computer budgets and resources. For them to set-up a PHP-capable Web server is probably asking too much, but it was the lowest barrier to entry I could find. Above, I said "re-write it in any platform that makes sense" — I don't see that Java makes any sense here.

Okay, rant over. I've probably said too much already. I know this post will offend someone, and I apologize in advance while bracing for the deluge.

Agony Column on Cory's next novel

Agony Column on Cory's next novel 01/05/2005 03:58 PM
Cory Doctorow: Rick Kleffel's "Agony Column" has a fun piece on my next book, and the thing I'm working on these days:

Now however, Doctorow has taken a very different track. His forthcoming novel, 'Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town' (Tor Books / Tom Doherty Associates ; May 1, 2005 ; $24.95) is in the first place coming to town a bit later in the year. The early draft I first read of this novel was nearly three times as long as 'Eastern Standard Tribe'. But the big ch-ch-ch-changes come as Doctorow turns to face the strangeness not of a science fictional future, but instead a fantastically rendered present. Alan, the protagonist of 'Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town', is a middle-aged man who moves into a bohemian neighborhood of Toronto. He only barely fits in with the college-roomie types next door, and that's even before the gal who lives there reveals to him that she has wings that grow back even if she cuts 'em off.

Alan is a sensitive guy, and he understands, because, we're told, his father is a mountain and his mother is a washing machine. This is clearly the type of reproduction that will not be taught in your hygiene classes. So, you know, when one of his brothers, a set of nested Russian nesting dolls, shows up on his doorstep starving because the innermost doll has disappeared, you can imagine that the whole family relationship issue is a bit more complex than usual. Especially since brother Davey, whom Alan and his other siblings killed years ago, may have returned, bent on revenge.

What's a guy like Alan to do but hook up with a cybergeek who plans to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet access? I've got to admit that under the circumstances set out by Doctorow, that seems like a more than reasonable reaction. Now as to how readers will react to the novel, well, that's a different matter entirely. I'm totally engrossed by this slight shift for Doctorow from the purely technological to the absurd and fantastic. That's because Doctorow writes with the kind of hardheaded humor and logic that makes one suspect this book will be a mind-boggling delight. And perhaps a bit of a revelation for Doctorow's audience, which could really grow to include a swathe of readers who enjoy literary fantasy.

Blowback: The Cost And Consequences of
American Empire plus War And Conflict In
The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era 03/13/2003 10:25 AM
Chalmers Johnson is an provocative proponent of the American Empire theory, indeed. Here are excerpts from his Blow Back: The Cost And Consequences of American Empire

I heard Johnson interviewed on Episode II, War And Conflict In The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era of The Whole Wide World

The Cold War and its central conflict - the physical and ideological battles between the United States, the Soviet Union and their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and consistency on the world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East in the ‘90s as well as the terror attacks and warnings of more recent times and you get a very confused picture of a world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about oil, democracy, freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing Islam or nation building in the Middle East? Some, one or all of these things?

It was an excellent program and well worth your listen, either by RA now or mp3 later. (From listening to the radio)
