   Excellent post hit the nail on the head. Besides the actual buying of a book from a bookstore has something of a religious feeling for me :)

   All three of them are very good with active communities. Kohana is a fork of CodeIgniter. I personally use mostly CodeIgniter as CakePHP has just too much 'magic'! I always prefer something lighter that I can extensively add to it rather th

   When I first started on my own I worked from a back-office in my house and this terribly bothered me. I found virtually no limitation or problems with any of my Clients (they actually perceived that I was giving them a bargain with my rates

   I thought everyone here on HN, somewhere, somehow, has written his own CMS! I have used Drupal and went through the pain to understand it (took about twenty days to become proficient). It can do what you want, but got a lot of other limitat

   Textbooks are the best source for CS. The web is actually very shallow when it comes to getting a real series of 'graded tutorials' and subject matter. I try to buy my books from book stores. There is nothing like flipping through a book to

   They make for interesting reading in between highly logical activities such as javascript or python sessions. Somehow they can relax the brain, provided you read them like fiction and consider dividing any 'truths' by pi*pi to arrive at som

   Tell me what the Roman Army didn't know and don't cover it with 'pseudo-scientific', jargon. Though the exact numbers of men in a legion varied, the basic pattern of organization remained the same. The smallest unit was the tent group (cont

    Good article. Although NOT my code, I had that feeling when I first had a look through the Wordpress code!

    Programming is like riding a bicycle, you never really forget it, but you need to warm-up a bit if you haven't used one for a long time. There are some good suggestions above. I would go with Ruby on Rails.

    'Replace PHP with your real wife's name and the silliness of the question is apparent'. You probably right. Maybe a fling on the side though, might not be such a bad idea :). Learning and exploring for me is a lifelong passion, however, I t

    Yes it is a bit of a metaphysical view and by no means I am advocating a fatalistic view, where one should just sit and wait for things to happen. You can 'control' your immediate environment to an extend but not much more. To 'control your

    One of my own 'AHA' moments was when I discovered that you can't. Yes you can never take control over your life. You need to relax and go with the flow. We all think that we are controlling our lives, but consider this, suppose time is a ri

    I agree the analogy is not right. Firstly I disagree that the Art of Software Engineering has disappeared or gone down or lost. Yes it is continually morphing and yes it has its own problems. I have been involved in both 'construction' worl

    This type of plugin would be useful where space is a premium. A good example is the Site's contact form. You are correct to say that when 'javascript' is off the label should be outside the field. With javascript on it is simple to adjust t
