Instead of focusing so much on standardized testing, we need to start valuing creativity, ingenuity and communication. Just because a school can increase test scores year-over-year, does not mean that the graduating students will make the

After reading up on the powerful SPL classes included with PHP5 and developing on top of the very well-coded KohanaPHP framework, PHP development has become very productive lately. Although, I prefer Python's syntax, the deployment speed o

Did they specify the dot pitch on the 27" screen? I recall testing the 17" MBP @ 1920X1200, but the text felt a bit small. Considering the old 24" was only 1920 pixels wide, packing 2560 pixels across into 27" seems tight.

MVC web development without ORM is definitely not fun. Being able to stay within the object paradigm when working with data keeps development momentum flowing. Stopping to write basic data access methods was always very annoying. I think

With the new Verizon Android phones coming to market shortly, a key factor will be how many features does Verizon remove from the phone. The new Android phones are extremely powerful and Android provides an excellent platform to leverage t

Having tested some clean installs of Windows 7, it really is a very smooth process (much improved over XP) -- at least for the somewhat technical user. I have not tested upgrading from XP to Windows 7, but it's probably not a good idea. Re

The 2.4 version that is due to be released shortly is an updated version of the 2.3 branch which is stable. The 3.x is a complete rewrite is likely to be less stable. I haven't used 3.x for a project yet, but it does look interesting. Her

The comparison between the frameworks was more relevant at the initial fork, when Kohana was simply a PHP5 port of CI with a additional functionality. However, at this point in time, the code bases have diverged to the point where no more

As a long time Kohana user, it really does make working with PHP much cleaner and faster. It takes the best architectural aspects of CI and adds some excellent functionality (full OOP, ORM, cascading filesystem, Events, Auth module). The K

Signing up for a third-party hosted Subversion account. The prices are so low these days, there's no need to manage the SVN server on your own. I tend to use SVN more now that I don't have to worry about managing it. The sharing features

This is a significant development and seems to be win-win for both Adobe and Apple. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out and if iPhone App development in Windows/Flash is as seamless as Adobe is claiming. But if it is, al

Fireworks has always been my favorite web design tool (since version 1.0), however, I have noticed the changes over the years and up until CS4 it wasn't so bad. I think Adobe is in a tough situation. They can not continue to grow by relyin

It's interesting to see the scale at which Microsoft management has to plan for future growth. Being so focused on startups, bootstrapping strategies, etc., the article makes it clear that continuing to grow a company the size of Microsoft

With strong support from companies like Oracle and IBM, Java code will likely be around as long as COBOL. Java may not make sense for small companies and startups building webapps. However, it works extremely well for big companies with la

I find Fireworks to be a much better tool for web mockups. In the latest version, Adobe added the ability to create interactive (clickable) wireframes and mockups that can be exported to multi-page PDF's. Fireworks offers a great toolset

Regardless of the opinions on the Microsoft advertising campaigns. It is clear that Windows 7 addresses many of the problems with Vista and most large companies (with large contracts with Dell and other PC vendors), will likely be upgradin

This sounds very similar to Sun and Java. Many companies profited greatly from Java -- except Sun. Where is Sun today?

In some ways it could help if they deal with the overproduction issues. I lost interest in baseball cards in the early 90's when the market became over-saturated with brands and specialty sets. Every company seemed to have 3 different set

This is an excellent strategic move by Google and further evidence to the notion that Google is trying to marginalize the various core elements of the Internet experience ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=693861 ). If they open up VP8

I would also recommend using KohanaPHP. It will take a little time to learn, but will be well worth it when you start developing.

I agree. Google is an advertising company -- first and foremost. Their main objective for online apps is to bring users off the desktop and onto the web. They stand to gain from any enhancements to browsers and web apps.

YQL is definitely shaping up to be a very interesting wrapper for web service API's. I would like to see it become more of an open standard that can be implemented on any system, but that's unlikely :(. However, the API limits are pretty
