10 Compelling Reasons to Use Zend Framework

10 Compelling Reasons to Use Zend Framework

Zend Framework is a fully object-oriented framework, and as such, it utilizes a lot of object-oriented (OO) concepts like inheritance and interfaces. This makes most, if not all, of ZF’s components extendable to some point. It allows developers to implement their own special variations of individual components without having to hack into the ZF codebase itself. Being able to customize ZF this way allows you to create functionality that is unique to your project, but because of its object-oriented nature, you’ll be able to use this functionality in other projects as well.

Introduction to MySQL Triggers

Introduction to MySQL Triggers

a trigger is a rule that you put on a table which basically says, whenever you DELETE, UPDATE or INSERT something in this table, also do something else. For instance, we might want to log a change, but instead of writing two separate queries, one for the change, and one for the log, we can instead write a trigger that says, “Whenever this row is updated, create a new row in a different table to tell me that the update was made”. It adds a little overhead to the initial query, but since there are not two packets traveling to your database to do two separate things, there is an overall performance gain (in theory anyway).

HTML5 : RDFa and Microdata for search engines

The web is a rich, distributed repository of interconnected information organized primarily for human consumption. On a typical web page, an XHTML author might specify a headline, then a smaller sub-headline, a block of italicized text, a few paragraphs of average-size text, and, finally, a few single-word links. Web browsers will follow these presentation instructions faithfully. However, only the human mind understands that the headline is, in fact, the blog post title, the sub-headline indicates the author, the italicized text is the article's publication date, and the single-word links are categorization labels. The gap between what programs and humans understand is large.

MicroData Formats
HTML5 Microdata: Welcome to the Machine

Microdata is a subset of making a document have meaning to machines, just as it has meaning to a reader of the document. With meaning, I mean providing the meta data in a way that can be used by a machine reading the document and to allow that data to be processed


RDFa

RDFa, which provides a set of XHTML attributes to augment visual data with machine-readable hints. We show how to express simple and more complex datasets using RDFa, and in particular how to turn the existing human-visible text and links into machine-readable data without repeating content
