Snippets: Accented Characters
This is a quick and dirty PHP hack which will convert accented characters to their non-accented version (e.g. á to a). It relies on the HTML entity starting with the unaccented character. It's highly volatile and likely to fail as it will convert & and other characters that you may not want converted.
OO Programming
Recently at Nomad we were talking about Object Oriented Programming and I ended up going on for a bit. So what follows is an expansion of the email conversation we had, including the crab and sheep related example. It's mostly in C# with some PHP thrown in and a brief splash of Java. If you squint hard enough they all look the same.
5 technologies I like working with
A short, sharp and highly subjective post. I was going to write about a few systems I’ve had the misfortune of working with recently. However I didn’t want to do one of those negative, bitchy posts that are oh so common on the Internet. So I thought I’d change tack and write a little about the systems/languages/techniques I like working with. These are in no particular order, and are not limited to one particular area.
Having trouble with Silverstripe ModelAdmin?
I've recently completed a project for a client using SilverStripe - an open source PHP5 CMS. I've been a fan of it ever since I first stumbled upon it. It's relatively easy to use, has a good strong OO grounding and is very flexible with a powerful template language.
