Phing is a PHP project build tool based on Apache Ant. A build system helps you to perform a group of actions using a single command. If you’re wondering why PHP needs a build tool, consider a work flow where you write code and unit tests on your local machine, and if the tests pass you upload the code to staging/production server and make any changes to the production database. Without a build file, you’ll need to go through each step manually.…
This article at developer.com, gives first hand information about creating neural networks in PHP language. Artificial neural networks are developed mostly in high-level programming languages such as C or C++, So reading about them in PHP is a refreshing experience.
What are Neural Networks?
The network works similarly to the human brain: it is comprised of neurons that communicate with each other and provide valuable outputs. Although just a model — and not even close to human thinking — artificial neural networks have been used in prediction, classification, and decision-support systems, as well as in optical character recognition and many other applications.…
Why you should use Zend Framework? This is not only an interview question, while taking structural decisions about a project, we should ask this question to ourself.

Why Migration?
We should not do something because we can, should only do if need is there. So before starting it is necessary to understand if you really need the migration from WordPress to Drupal.…
I got several messages that I should point out a list of topics which a developer should know in wordpress to categorize him/her as a wordpress programmer.
“WordPress Programmer” or “WordPress Developer” terms can be new to someone but due its popularity, term is getting attention and several companies are doing hiring based on wordpress experience only.

I am really feeling good by announcing that Nes Web Design (ONS Interactive Solutions Pvt. Ltd.), company with which I am working as CTO is sponsoring Smarty Template Engine, which in my view is the best Template Engine in PHP.Smarty helps a php developer in separating business logic from display logic.
It was year 2003 when I first got a chance to work with Smarty for a big project and today I am still proud of my decision.
Smarty is not just a presentation layer or tool to separate the html from programming code, it is in fact a complete system to handle display logic of your application.…

The proposed $350 million buyout announced in the first half April,2006 by Linux distributor Red Hat, Inc., of Java middleware maker JBoss, Inc. is seen by analysts as the first major consolidation initiative in the open source software realm that has potential to challenge the might of software giants like Microsoft and Sun Microsystems.
