Improving Chess Using Chess Engines
Chess engines are everywhere, whether free or non-free. Of course, there are excellent non-free engines like Rybka, but if you’re just starting out, and would like to avoid spending much, you could download Arena. It’s just a GUI, so you’ll even need an engine to get going For this, I’d recommend something like Toga or [...]
Coding Different Parts Of Your Web App, Differently…
This is an interesting concept I was just thinking about. Now, I don’t know how effective it can be, but it seems to be an interesting idea. I’d be happy to know your thoughts on this. Today, frameworks like rails, django and even php frameworks are extremely popular. But with the power of these frameworks, [...]
Using Zend Acl With CodeIgniter
You’ll need to scroll horizontally to see the source codes. Best is to copy them and paste in your text editor I was just taking a look at the CodeIgniter forum, and found that many people require some sort of an Acl component to make their lives easier. Of course, Zend framework has an excellent [...]
Installing Python 3.0 In Windows Vista – A Small Problem
Don’t be alarmed! Its not a problem with Python or anything. But its just a weird behavior people trying to install Python 3 (I didn’t notice such a problem in previous versions) in Windows Vista might experience.

I downloaded Zend Framework 1.7 a few days ago. So far, it looks like a great framework, backed by a good company. Previously, I learnt CakePHP 1.2 RC (I’m desparately waiting for 1.2 Final). CakePHP did have a good documentation, though lacking at some parts (especially the 1.2 version). But still, the usage for so [...]

PHP NetBeans – A Good and Free PHP IDE
After a lot of searching for quite a few months, all of a sudden, I stumbled upon PHP Netbeans. I have not even cared to know when it was released, but I never came across it in my previous (maybe lacking?) searches.
Taking User Input Containing Spaces
In c++, many a times, you’d want to take a string as an input. But the default cin statement cannot accept spaces, i.e. it terminates the input when it encounters a space. For eg, if you input ‘Hello World’, only ‘Hello’ would be stored and rest all discarded. To overcome this, we have a function [...]
