Discussing PHP Frameworks: What, When, Why and Which?

Image
What is a PHP Framework?   PHP is the world’s most popular scripting language for many different reasons – flexibility, ease-of-use, among others – but often times coding in PHP, or any language for that matter, can get rather monotonous and repetitive. That’s where a PHP framework can help.   PHP frameworks streamline the the development of web applications written in PHP by providing a basic structure for which to build the web applications. In other words, PHP frameworks help to promote rapid application development (RAD), which saves you time, helps build more stable applications, and reduces the amount of repetitive coding for developers. Frameworks can also help beginners to build more stable apps by ensuring proper database interaction and coding on the presentation layer. This allows you to spend more time creating the actual web application, instead of spending time writing repetitive code. The general idea behind the workings of a PHP framework is referred to as

Create CSS borders without coding knowledge

Image
Many developers who are experts are good at designing CSS borders. If you are a developer and using codes to design it can get a little boring or repetitive to create CSS borders. Here I think this tool called CSS Border Radius helps to create customized borders quickly and it also creates the code for me to copy paste into the file to play around with later.     About CSS Border Radius The borders are at default 0 px w hich means at right angles. Just click on the box with the numbers and select how curved you want the borders. Once done the code is automatically created for CSS, WebKit, Gecko, just copy and paste it to start playing around with the predefined borders. I am sure most professional developers will not really find this tool as useful but someone who is just pottering around and learning the ropes this can be quite helpful. It is a lot like creating vertical and horizontal menus without coding knowledge . Such tools are really good for starters to g

If We All Just Do Two Things We Can Prevent Climate Change

Image
The theme is climate change. Personally, it's always climate change action day for me , but it never hurts to re-emphasize the importance of climate change and what actions you can take to do your part. If you only have time to do two things regarding climate change (besides bombarding your representative with calls/emails urging political action) this is what you need to do: 1) Sign Up For Green Power With Your Utility Want to slash your personal carbon emissions and send a message to your electric utility that renewable energy is important to you? Then take 5-10 minutes out of your busy day and sign up for green power with your utility . The amount of carbon emissions you've just cut out of your life varies from state to state and region to region (based on how polluting your energy mix is) but it's a significant thing to do no matter where you live. On average in the US you're avoiding 3 tons of carbon emissions. Don't know where to start? Go here: EPA
