Iterators in PHP
Recently, while playing with Scala/Python/PHP comparative implementation of lazy algorithms (I will hopefully describe them some days later) with colleague and friend of mine Michael Fuks, I sorrowfully discovered that, despite there are several SPL units, which define basic Iterator interfaces and functionality, most of the functionality available for arrays is missing for Iterators.
So [...]

Dependency Injections in Java 5
Recently I’ve discovered a new “framework” which simplifies dependency injections in Java 5. It’s called Guice.
Well, what can I say. It indeed has sence. But what I’m wandering of is you need a framework for this thing. In PHP you can solve the problem in exactly x lines. And certainly don’t perform at lectures to explain the concept.

PDT Resource Containers Include Paths
Last week I have been working on extending of Include Path Libraries management in PDT and Zend Studio for Eclipse (Neon). The change won’t be released either in PDT 1.0.2 or in Zend Studio for Eclipse GA, but in the next ones (since it changed almost every aspect of products’ functionality).
The change’s idea is very [...]

Overview
The main point of the feature is collapsing of multiple same-prefixed options into groups, instead of showing a long list [...]

Zend Framework vs. CakePHP, Symfony, Seagull, WACT, Prado, TRAX, eZ and CodeIgniter
In contraversal with what it might seem, I won’t compare features of the mentioned projects. For that purpose you may just read this nice article by Dennis Pallett.
Instead, I will share you what I learned with help of [in]famous Ohloh project - the codebase, activity and participants dynamics comparison of the mentioned projects.
Well, I’ll not make any conclusions - just [...]

Integration of Zend Framework and Prototype Ajax
Last two days I’ve worked on implementing an example of integration of Zend Framework’s MVC and Prototype’s Ajax for HTML Forms submission and validation.
The solution consist of 2 parts:
1. There is a new View Helper to create an Ajax-enabled form.
This part mostly consists of JavaScript code, which alters default HTML Form behavior to submit the [...]

Debug PHP and JavaScript simultaneously
Yesterday me and Roy had a brainstorm session on future Zend Neon (Commercial version of PDT) and ATF integration and “occidently” found a way of debugging of an URL with both Zend’s PHPand Mozilla’s JavaScript debuggers in one session.
Surprise! It’s possible with neither patching nor hacking. I’m not going to show the exact steps of [...]

PDT and me
Luckily, some projects I work on currently are open sourced, what makes me able to post close to everything I want about them.
I have been involved in PDT more than one year, starting with my entrance to Zend’s Development Team (After finishing to work about 4 years in the e-Business team as Zend’s site developer [...]
