Broadway – GTK+ Applications within your Browser

hakre — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:24:59 +0000

Broadway is a backend for GTK+ 3 which targets HTML 5 compatible browsers (renders in a browser). This is experimental, but looks really nice. I like the Idea, chapeau!:

Architecture the Lost Years (Robert Cecil Martin; 4 Nov 2011)

hakre — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:05:11 +0000

Did worldwide Hypertext turned software developers out in the field upside-down? In Architecture the Lost Years (1h 06m) Robert C. Martin talks about the web and how it influenced development design decisions in the last decade(s).

Is the system the application runs on more agile than the application developer? Are you still in control? – A very enjoyable talk (as the shaky handy-cam finally comes into picture in picture mode) about software development in times of the HTTP interface, Browser GUIs, Free Software (database) servers and TDD with a decent focus on architecture. Held on Ruby Midwest 2011 (only very limited knowledge about Ruby is required to understand the talk, it’s more that you’ve ever encountered a web-application-framework of some kind the sooner or later and you want to learn about software development).

phptags – tidies up tags in PHP scripts and guards whitespace

hakre — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:50:51 +0000

Just stumbled over another PHP related tool today, which I think is worth the link:

phptags is a simple commandline tool to tidy up open and close tags in PHP scripts. It can rewrite close tags, and strip leading or trailing whitespace (or UTF-8 BOM).

It’s also listed on freecode.

How to avoid “tight coupling” in a WordPress Plugin?

hakre — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:29:08 +0000

This was asked today over at Stackoverflow (WordPress Plugin: How do I avoid “tight coupling”?) and I was able to grasp some time for an answer, I thought it’s worth linking it for the interested reader.

Sure it can’t answer all questions but is probably helpful to keep own code and wordpress code in their own domain.
