Loops are an integral part of PHP, and many other programming languages for that matter, the basics covered here would apply to javascript as well, even the code is very similar. A loop is simply a block of code that executes multiple times, controlled either directly, by explicitly telling the script to execute “X” times, [...]
Web Development: How does PHP work?
When someone starts learning web development they usually start with HTML and CSS, and many people get stuck there without ever experiencing the wonderful workd of server side scripting like PHP or ASP. I’ll be talking about PHP here, but the basic rules for ASP and others are the same though. The most important thing [...]
Work in style with the Enigma desktop package
While I’m a huge fan of desktop customization I always actually work with a solution which is the simplest possible. I love elaborite desktop configs, but I find most of the stuff gets in my way. I have found a setup which looks extremely good and easy on the eyes and while still a bit [...]
Web Development: A brief history of time()

Balance your checkbook with Clearcheckbook
I have to confess I am rather into money management apps, although I never actually got into any of them, except for one of the best, Clearcheckbook.
