This semester I am giving a lecture on Web Technologies. I’m not going to publish the slides on all the basic web stuff (HTML, CSS, …). However, for all those of you interested in programming with PHP and JavaScript, I will publish the PHP, JavaScript and jQuery slides. Basically, all the slides come with some sample source codes. All you need to execute the sources is a standard WAMP or LAMP installation. Continue Reading

Matthew Weier O’Phinney has just announced the first Beta Release of Zend Framework 1.11! Although it is a beta version, the features listed by Matthew really look great: Zend_Http_UserAgent is a new class that allows you to detect which kind of agent (browser) the user of your web app is using. Thus, ZF 1.11 makes it very easy to integrate support for mobile devices. I’ll try to include this feature into the article on mobile devices I’ve posted a few months ago.
Beside that Zend_Service_Ebay and Zend_Service_ShortUrl provide two brand new services for your ZF web apps!
Find more information about ZF 1.11 here in the Zend Developer Zone…

If you google for packages that will help you to visualize graphs, you will probably find at least two JavaScript packages: JSViz and InfoVis. In this post I would like to share my experience with these two packages with you. Continue Reading

For all those who just stumbled upon this website: this blog is actually not about computer games. However, as I started playing computer games back in 1982 (on an Atari VCS 2600 and later on an Atari 800 XL which by the way was the reason why I started coding) I claim to be something like an eGames Pro ;-). Hence, from time to time I will misuse this blog to post something about computer games. Continue Reading

I’ve just stumbled upon this great talk given by Douglas Crockford on Google Tech Talks about JavaScript. For me, this talk was an eye-opener and taught me how to solve and/or avoid several problems I had with JavaScript. Continue Reading
