After finishing the redesign project on tdc.dk, I found a few hours to finish the redesign of this site. The former look never really got around to looking somewhat decent in Internet Explorer and never worked very well in general (except for some prettier colors). This look is an odd mixture of nifty cube, Yahoo User Interface Library, Movable Type and some homebrewed components. Should you find any serious issues, let me know.
So I may be slightly atypical. 18 months ago I decided to drop Windows. For a while I’ve been running OSX at home, but since it required new hardware at work, it wasn’t an option there. So I switched to Fedora (our Linux God at work was runing it, and it always nice with an expert around to save the day :-) ). Friday however I switch to KUbuntu and unassisted. KUbuntu is the KDE derivate of Ubuntu, and the installer is the coolest OS installed I’ve ever tried. A few questions, some disc spins and the system were running and usable within an hour.
I’ve been playing with XML-RPC – a remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML. If you’re interested in how to use XML-RPC in PHP, go to the lab page on XML-RPC with PHP.
How to check if the correct PHP version, the correct modules and other stuff are available, when you’re creating a PHP application, you expect other to use.
With PHP5 accessing webservices just go so much easier, and now there’s a section in the PHP Lab to prove it. If you’re PHP Developer looking for examples on how to access Google APIs or any other WebService with SOAP.
