PHP Look Back looks back at PHP developments in 2002.
/php4/sapi/activescript/README
"Probably the most useful of these will be using it with the scriptlet control, or in your own activescript host, so that you can very easily embed PHP into your win32 application."
Please excuse me while I go out to do my evil grin-and-hopping-in-circles routine.
Struts 1.1 is on its way
When I've found problems, I've patched them - good ol' open source. I haven't found any issues in quite some time - and when I have, the committers usually fix them the same day. Gotta love that kind of customer service. Show me a company that can do that with commercial software and I'll be impressed.
SelectORacle -- very cool!
Ever wondered what a particularly complex CSS selector really means? Here's your chance to find out! Simply enter one or more semi-colon separated selectors or rulesets into the following "Direct Input" area, or provide the URL of a stylesheet in the "URL Input" area. Best of all, the SelectORacle will flag potential errors and other problems, and it won't choke on any actual rules. You've always wanted to know what makes those line-noise posers tick-- now you can.
A Simple Performance Test of Java Generics
Now that Generics are coming to the Java Platform (in the next JDK), I was curious as to how they would perform, since everything depends in how efficiently they are managing the type management internally (yes, in theory there shouldn't be much difference, but you never know). So I downloaded the Early Access prototype to add generics to JDK 1.4.x, and did a couple of simple tests, with the idea of finding out two things: 1) whether there would be a noticeable performance hit and 2) whether it was necessary to modify JDK 1.4 to run generics-enabled classes.
