Cameron Olthuis wants to share the tools that he finds th emost useful with the entire web, so he's posted them here on his blog.   His list includes libraries from all different technologies, not just PHP. Several are Javascript-related, but it's always good to have a complete toolkit on hand when trying to tackle some of the more difficult things.   Included in his list are things like:  Moo.fx - a Javascript effects library Swat - an open source web application toolkit PEAR - the PHP package repository Mochikit - lightweight Javascript library    Be sure to check out the post and its comments for more great resources!

Once the cutting-edge materials of engineering were steel girders, then transistors. And next, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is gambling, it will be DNA and cells -- the stuff of life.

Adding to his popular Install PHP 5 on Windows workshop, Edward Tanguay has just posted two new steps, which teach you PHP 5 object-oriented programming in a very practical manner: In the first step you download and set up a PHP 5 page which reads an XML file and displays book reviews linked to the Amazon Associate program. In the next step, Edward goes line-by-line through the code and examines the classes, properties, constructors, public methods, private methods and static methods discussing how each works and why programming in this fashion is better than procedural programming. There are dozens of screen screenshots which make this tutorial easy to follow. If you get stuck or want to discuss an issue, you can instantly post questions and comments on each step without registering.

William Candillon has has posted about the project he was working on for the Google Summer of Code - phpAspect - and a talk he was invited to do on it.   Last week I was invited by Christelle Vangenot to talk about phpAspect and some of the new features I developed during the Google Summer of code.   If you'd like to check out the slides presented at the talk, check out this PDF.

InfoWorld - Advanced Micro Devices Inc. wants developers to start thinking about how they can speed up their software using new instructions that will appear in the company&#39;s processors from 2009. The additions could simplify the way developers code the iterative calculations used to shade graphics, render photos or add spatial effects to audio.

Elizabeth Smith has a new post to her blog today covering some of the fun she's been having with compiling things like Gtk+ and PHP-Gtk2.   So I've been using microsoft visual studio (actually it's Visual C++ Express, but uses the same stuff behind the scenes) to work on getting things compiled on windows. PHP-Gtk2 allows for some nifty extensions, well at least on linux. So I've been working to get versions of libglade, scintilla, gtksourceview and mozembed working on windows. It's a long, slow process. Here's the deal so far.   She talks about her current situation (what's compiling and what's not) and the software that she's trying to get up and running. She also mentions a problem she's been having with an error message talking about "unresolved external symbols" she'll need to track down (or get some help on - anyone out there seen it?)

MeshLab is a GPL portable and extendible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small meshes arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, repairing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes.    This release adds various new filtering tools like a much improved automatic hole filling algorithm vrml/dxf output and improved format support for obj files.   More info and screenshots of the system are available at   http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

While attending Gunter Kniesel's "Aspect-Oriented Software Development" lecture yesterday it occured to me that it might be possible to (ab)use PHP 5's __autoload(), __call(), __get(), and __set() interceptors to facilitate Aspect-Oriented Programming with PHP.
