The first issue is why do you want to store them, just for the record or do you need to do something with them. Do you need to store that actual number or would a hash of the number be acceptable (for comparison purposes). Databases are com

To some degree it is relevant (it's not about fixing the transmission of a Ford Cortina) just not very relevant given the changes both languages have undergone in the intervening times. If you are a PHP programmer how would you view an arti

This article was written in 2007. Since then both PHP and Rails have undergone considerable changes making much of what is being said only of historical interest. This is supposedly a site about news which by implication is not something th

In all probability a new language would emerge. But just think of the cognitive load in knowing every single language. Ignoring the many and varied grammatical rules that languages have for a moment and just consider vocabulary. Lets say yo

I tend to borrow little things rather than the whole. Sort of 'thats a nice effect - how do they do it', 'ooh that file upload progress looks nice, I could use that' Which is when you find that they are just using a standard library that yo

Well I've had a look at some of the project that are sitting on my hard disk (all are current by the way) and here is the Code LOC values for them: 50, 225, 261, 346, 402, 572, 857, 980, 1099, 1213, 1475, 1677, 1841, 2002, 2123, 2242, 2887,

Well it is possible to have 3 years clojure experience as the first commit on github is March 24, 2006. So clojoure is 3 years and 8 months old. But only if your name is Richard Hickey :(

Well there is nothing stopping you from getting a small host somewhere and put up a site of some sort. This can then be used to practice the skills you will require to manage a host. Make sure that the site is actually being used for someth

The problem can be that when your hair starts to go grey people either expect you to be some sort of certified genius or completely out of touch (granddad). Of course in the world of blue chip consulting this can be seen as good thing. The

Seems a little too specific at this point unless you have an interest in mayan glyphs or US road signs. I really can't think of anyone (other than mayan scholars) who would have recourse to visit the site regularly. Perhaps a couple of exam

I used to work for an egg wholesaler. We paid the farmers by the egg according to grade. We accounted in eggs. Do you know how many eggs are sold in the UK? We had to write a special class to handle eggs because we blew the unsigned integer

When it comes to things with levels such as severity or priority keep the option list short, 3 to 5 items. Preferably with user configurable text. Allow bugs to be grouped into meta bugs. Bugzilla had a feature that showed a tree of bugs th

You are young so it is a good time to make mistakes. Even if it all goes down the pan you should have something interesting to say at your interview when they ask you what you did after graduation. Just one niggle, serendipity doesn't make

Given that you know and are happy with PHP then I would stick with it. There is no 'one size fits all' answer to this, I develop in Rails and Perl so I find them faster to use than PHP and Java (which I am also familier with). Other people

Ok, you have problem with caffeine withdrawal. I think then that amphetamines are not for you then.
