1. SitePoint Forums - What happened to Object Aggregation? (in PHP). "Well, here is basically what I came up to dynamically bind methods from various classes together at runtime, in both PHP 4 and PHP 5. (OO is PHP 4 style)."

Java join function

Because Java is too much of a pain in the ass to have included one in the standard library, here's a simple string join function:

public static String join(String[] pieces){
    return join(pieces, " ");
}
public static String join(String[] pieces, char sep){
    return join(pieces, String.valueOf(sep));
}
public static String join(String[] pieces, String sep){
    if(pieces.length == 0) return "";

    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
    buf.append(pieces[0]);
    for(int i=1,n=pieces.length; i<n; i++)
        buf.append(sep).append(pieces[i]);
    return buf.toString();
}


Update: Of course, there's also a join function in org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.

1. Join Java "is a programming language that extends the standard Java programming language with the Join Semantics of the Join Calculus". Ooh. Here's the main website.

Heredoc syntax

Because I always forget...

Perl heredoc syntax:

$_ = <<EOF;
text goes here
EOF


PHP heredoc syntax:

<?php
$str = <<<EOF
text goes here
EOF;
?>


Ruby heredoc syntax:

str = <<EOF
text goes here
EOF


Of course, Python's heredoc syntax is easy to remember:

str = """text goes here
"""


(text is on the same line as the """ for parity with the other examples)

2. The Island was basically a remake of Logan's Run. But with more explosions and highly improbable action scenes. Cool premise, but of course it wasn't their idea anyway.
