• Tim Bray compared Java, Ruby and PHP (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  During his keynote on the International PHP Conference 2006 Bray performed a little comparison between Java, Ruby (mainly Rails) and PHP. While I first thought, this could only be some dumb marketing stuff, the presentation was actually really good. Tim first introduced his comparison basis (Scaling, Dev Tools, Dev Speed and Maintainability) and explained his views on the 4 topics and which keywords he considers under each of them. This introduction was really good and well-founded. After that, he showed and explained a diagram to make the actual comparison: [Read full post…]

• Apache vs. Lighttpd: "echo" performance (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  For a little private project, which makes extensive use of caching, I recently checked, where I could get gather some more performance from. Kore told me, that Lighttpd ships all of the pages of one of his projects in about 0.001 seconds, while mine still took 0.004 seconds on Apache. After some tracing I found the actual point of problem: The echo of the final output, which took most of the time. I tried to run the same project on Lighttpd and guess what: There were the 0.001 seconds. [Read full post…]

• eZ components on Ohloh (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  I tried a several times to get eZ components (and other eZ projects) into Ohloh. Ohloh claims to do "Mapping the open source world by collecting objective information on open source projects", which fits the website content quite well. If I got the basic project idea correctly, it should give managers an impression on the quality and usability of open source projects. Since managers usually want to have "hard facts", Ohloh tries to masure numbers it can extract from various public project data (e.g. from SVN). [Read full post…]

• Reading recommendation: PHP Design Patterns (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  Yesterday I received "PHP Design Patterns", the new book written by Stephan Schmidt, a well-known PHP community member and creator of cool library packages, like most of the PEAR XML section. I seized the time on the tram yesterday night to take a look at it and I have to admit I'm quite impressed. Stephan managed to write down a lot of practical experience in respect to the implementation of OO patterns with PHP. [Read full post…]
