Google Chrome for Mac

Jan Gorman — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:30:50 +0000

It has arrived, the official Google Chrome Beta for Mac is here. I’ve been regularly compiling the Chromium project for Mac for a while now and it soon replaced Safari as my default browser. I can honestly recommend it to anyone. Lightning fast with beautiful Webkit font rendering; give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Let’s make the web faster

This is interesting, Google ist putting together a site about best practices on how to speed up websites. I’ve long been a fan of Yslow and using Steve Souders’ 14 rules for faster-loading websites so this is will be a very welcome addition. Evangelize, spread the message to your colleagues at work. From my experience there’s still a lot to be done!

Zend Framework 1.8 Preview Release

Jan Gorman — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:33:11 +0000

The Zend Framework 1.8 Preview Release is now available for testing! This latest release includes a new CLI for creating your initial project structure, adding resources to your project so no more rails envy:

$ zf create project theNewProject

This will create the initial project layout with directories, controllers and all. Brilliant.

The new Zend_Application has been added to handle the task of bootstrapping your application and other cool stuff, one of the most important features is the new way that modules are treated in Zend_Application which should help keep your application DRYer than ever.

It’s been quite a while since the last release, today 006 has finally been released. The major changes include the addition of the Poco library, an event system and Glut abstraction and it can even run on the iPhone now. Yay! I’m really excited about this release and can’t wait to get my hands dirty.
