Hi guys, I am Prathap Beschi, PHP programmer from Balyhoo Advertsing, Chennai, India. I like developing ajax websites, jquery plugins. Follow me on TWITTER.

Traditionally, in compiled languages, certain part of code validation (type checking, checking for non-initialized variables) are usually taken by compiler, but besides compiler there are also external tools used to conduct this task (for example checkstyle for Java). This article deals with use of one of those tools (Codenizer) during development of PHP applications.

Hi there guys! As I told you, me (Adrian) and Ivan don’t have so much time to post more tutorials in yensdesign at this time, so we are searching for people that want to write tutorials in yensdesign and promote himself showing his stuff.

What do you need to write tutorials in yensdesign?

All of you can write in yensdesign just read that:

• Write clear and new tutorials divided in steps (like ours)
• Write in english (you will do it better than use for sure lol!)
• Write tutorials that aren’t published in anywhere
• Tutorials about web design and coding (css, html, javascript, php, mysql, layouts in psd… etc)

What do you get in return?

All posts will have a little presentation attached about the author to let (a lot of!) readers know more about you and (of course) the satisfaction on helping others to learn more about web design and coding

So just e-mail me or post a comment please!

As some of you may know, there is a new Internet Explorer 8 released 1 day ago. I didn’t test the beta version and didn’t download yet the new one (maybe when “Multiples Explorers” program add the IE8). But taking a look at some of the advantages? new features? of the 8 version makes me sad, very sad.
