Fantastico is very helpful in getting WordPress or any other software on your server installed within a few clicks. Everything is handled by it. Apart from some security optimizations, you will not need to touch your core WordPress install files anytime later.

WordPress is a great blogging platform, no doubt. But if you’ve been surfing through various WordPress themes websites lately, you’ll find 90% of them plain suck. Really, the one featured on the homepage of many sites are not even worth looking. Why is this the case?

Hello again guys! This post is for someone who is pretty much enjoys playing games, but has a thought of creating one for himself. Even if you’re just a person thinking about entering the programming world, I’d suggest reading this entire post before you jump into C/C++ or any other lower level languages directly.

I recently received a comment on one of my posts about Zend Framework, which requested more concise resources on using this powerful framework. I have to accept, learning Zend Framework is very hard at first. One can write a functional code in Zend Framework easily, but could be clueless as to where it actually goes! This is the same thing that happened to me.

I mostly program in Python (mainly), PHP and in C/C++. Maybe a few others hear and there. I did try Vim maybe a year ago, when it was 7.0 I guess.
I have the say, the article/post which pushed me towards trying it was: Why, oh WHY, do those #?@! nutheads use vi?.

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 even something like Crafty would do.
Computers are tactically very strong, and now-a-days even in endgames due to usage of endgame tablebases. But they can be strategically weak. Even though engines like Rybka can make sound decisions and still improving.

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, comes more responsibility (Whoa, that’s philosophical).
In Web Hosting forums, a typical hot topic is not how to use these frameworks, since they’re very well documented in the first place, and are quite self-explanatory in their working. The main worry is performance. Can my server handle these many users? Will it crash?

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 tried and tested Acl component. Also, the framework’s loose coupoling allows to just use a small part of it.
Seeing this, I tried implementing Zend’s Acl component into a default CI installation. Now, this is a very dirty work, I’ve just thrown stuffs here and there. But you’ll at least get an idea on how to use it. The major code goes into a CI library, which initializes the Acl object, roles, resources and rules for them.

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 happily installed it through the given MSI Installer, but then, there was no ‘C:/Python30′ directory, no Start-Menu shortcuts. I was a little surprised. But I had faced this problem before, since I have Windows UAC turned on (for a good reason).

I’ve fiddled with Zend Framework a bit, and even developed a simple MVC application structure, i.e. just the bare bones. Looking at my code, I though, initializing so many classes, is this Framework efficient?
