Massive copy paste-over shit-show. Since then we’ve gotten a little more pragmatic. Here’s a quick recipe that should help you stay up to date with releases of Symfony2 or it’s bundles, like the <a href="http://symfony.com/download">Standard Edition</a> for example.</p> <p>From the root of your project, run the following commands:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>git remote add symfony https<span class="other">:</span><span class="other">/</span><span class="other">/</span>github<span class="other">.</span>com<span class="other">/</span>symfony<span class="other">/</span>symfony<span class="argument">-standard</span><span class="other">.</span>git git fetch symfony git checkout v2<span class="other">.</span><span class="other">0</span><span class="other">.</span><span class="other">0</span>BETA5 git checkout <span class="argument">-b</span> symfony<span class="argument">-upgrade</span><span class="argument">-beta5</span> git checkout master rm <span class="argument">-rf</span> vendors<span class="other">/</span>* git submodules update php bin<span class="other">/</span>vendors<span class="other">.</span>php git merge symfony<span class="argument">-upgrade</span><span class="argument">-beta5</span></pre></div> </div> <p>You might have to deal with conflicts as a regular part of the merge but it’s that’s easy enough if you follow <a href="http://gitref.org/branching/#merge">this guide</a>.</p> <p>If you clear your console and lose the list of files you need to manually merge, you can run this command to re-summon them:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>git diff <span class="other">-</span><span class="argument">-name</span><span class="argument">-only</span> <span class="other">-</span><span class="argument">-diff</span><span class="argument">-filter=M</span> <span class="argument">-S</span><span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k"><<<<<<< HEAD</span><span class="dl">"</span></span></pre></div> </div> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/upgrading-symfony2">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/upgrading-symfony2#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=mG38quQCMs8:u7u1dWUHEeY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=mG38quQCMs8:u7u1dWUHEeY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=mG38quQCMs8:u7u1dWUHEeY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=mG38quQCMs8:u7u1dWUHEeY:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=mG38quQCMs8:u7u1dWUHEeY:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=mG38quQCMs8:u7u1dWUHEeY:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/mG38quQCMs8" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/VGjnkglZJdI" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/upgrading-symfony2http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/mG38quQCMs8/upgrading-symfony2 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 08:40:00 -0700 Simple Symfony 2 Virtual Hosts http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/onjI8IqaA4c/simple-symfony-2-virtual-hosts http://www.developly.com/simple-symfony-2-virtual-hosts <p> <p>Like many I’ve looked for a lightning quick virtual host pre-tested for Symfony2 only to find snarky comments saying “Just use a virtual host”.

This is because session data is typically stored on a box’s local disk – so if you have multiple servers under a load balancer, you could be rotated to a box that doesn’t know about your session. This is a problem.</p> <p>You might use sticky sessions at the load balancer level to keep users on the box where their sessions were written, but this could have a negative impact on your overall throughput. You could store them in an in-memory layer, like <code>memcached</code>, but you should consider that layers like this should be safely “wipe able” without breaking your application entirely. If you need to ensure that session data is available to many box’s and isn’t going to become corrupt or disappear, then perhaps storing them in database is your best option.</p> <p>For some reason setting up session saving to DB wasn’t readily achievable online via <code>application.ini</code>. The docs weren’t too helpful either. I hope this helps developers setup session saving with <code>Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable</code> in a jiffy.</p> <h2>Create the session table</h2> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="r">CREATE</span> <span class="r">TABLE</span> <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">session</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> ( <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">session_id</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> <span class="pt">char</span>(<span class="i">32</span>) <span class="r">NOT</span> <span class="pc">NULL</span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">save_path</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> <span class="pt">varchar</span>(<span class="i">100</span>) <span class="r">NOT</span> <span class="pc">NULL</span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">name</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> <span class="pt">varchar</span>(<span class="i">32</span>) <span class="r">NOT</span> <span class="pc">NULL</span> <span class="di">DEFAULT</span> <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">modified</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> <span class="pt">int</span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">lifetime</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> <span class="pt">int</span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">session_data</span><span class="dl">`</span></span> <span class="pt">text</span>, <span class="r">PRIMARY</span> <span class="r">KEY</span> (<span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">Session_ID</span><span class="dl">`</span></span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">save_path</span><span class="dl">`</span></span>, <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">name</span><span class="dl">`</span></span>) );</pre></div> </div> <h2>Configure the session handler</h2> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>;place after resources.db section resources.session.save_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/sessions" resources.session.use_only_cookies = true resources.session.remember_me_seconds = 864000 resources.session.saveHandler.class = "Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable" resources.session.saveHandler.options.name = "session" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primary[] = "session_id" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primary[] = "save_path" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primary[] = "name" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primaryAssignment[] = "sessionId" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primaryAssignment[] = "sessionSavePath" resources.session.saveHandler.options.primaryAssignment[] = "sessionName" resources.session.saveHandler.options.modifiedColumn = "modified" resources.session.saveHandler.options.dataColumn = "session_data" resources.session.saveHandler.options.lifetimeColumn = "lifetime"</pre></div> </div> <h2>Start the session</h2> <p>This is optional depending on your application, read more about it in the <a href="http://zendframework.com/manual/en/zend.session.advanced_usage.html#zend.session.advanced_usage.starting_a_session">Zend_Session</a> section of the docs.</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="r">class</span> <span class="cl">Bootstrap</span> <span class="r">extends</span> <span class="co">Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap</span> { <span class="r">public</span> _initSessionStart() { <span class="lv">$this</span>->bootstrap(<span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">db</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>);

It kicks WAMP & MAMP’s butt. My favorite feature is the job queue – it offers an object oriented, cross-platform, cron-like paradigm. It’s really handy.</p> <p>When developing with it it’s not uncommon to have many jobs fail (from expirementing), jobs that spawn jobs, or jobs that are dependent on other jobs. When this happens, your jobqueue logs get ginormous. This isn’t typically a problem but the Zend Server admin interface does not allow you to select more than one page of jobs at a time. When you have 20,000 jobs, this means you’ll be clicking <em>select all</em> then <em>delete</em> about 1000 times. This isn’t reasonable. Here is the best and easiest way to delete Zend Server job queue records.</p> <ol> <li>Stop the <code>Zend Job Queue</code> service.</li> <li>Delete the JobQueue database @ <code>ZendServer/data/db/jobqueue.db</code></li> <li>Start the <code>Zend Job Queue</code> service.</li> </ol> <p>Hopefully this helps other developers in the same position. And Zend, make a <em>real</em> select all button in the ZendServer admin panel.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/purging-zend-servers-job-queue">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/purging-zend-servers-job-queue#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=8zK8qge06PE:U2W6caS6WCI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=8zK8qge06PE:U2W6caS6WCI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=8zK8qge06PE:U2W6caS6WCI:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=8zK8qge06PE:U2W6caS6WCI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=8zK8qge06PE:U2W6caS6WCI:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=8zK8qge06PE:U2W6caS6WCI:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/8zK8qge06PE" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/-vPE7pw1hM4" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/purging-zend-servers-job-queuehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/8zK8qge06PE/purging-zend-servers-job-queue Fri, 03 Jun 2011 15:18:00 -0700 Using Symfony2 on PhpFog now. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/yXizBdnQohY/using-symfony2-on-phpfog-now-right-now http://www.developly.com/using-symfony2-on-phpfog-now-right-now <p> <p><img title="PhpFog & Symfony sitting in a tree." src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2327/5794955536_b1a7cf90b9.jpg" alt="PhpFog & Symfony" /></p> <p>PhpFog is a new PHP PaaS service. It’s dazzling. It takes the weight of deploying applications to the cloud off your shoulders and allows you to focus on writing code. You can deploy your app’s with a simple <code>git push phpfog master</code>. This is great, but PhpFog is new and there is no built-in considerations for Symfony2. That makes sense – Symfony2 is still (at the time of writing) in beta. But I want to deploy Symfony2 apps now!</p> <p>In this article I’ll show you how you can use PhpFog to host a Symfony2 application. For the purpose of ease we are going to use Github but you could just as easily host your code with Beanstalk, or use PhpFog’s Git repository alone.</p> <h2>Step 1, setup a Symfony2 app in Git.</h2> <p>If you already have your application in Git and have at least one production route, then you can skip to the next step.</p> <ol> <li>Download the <a href="http://symfony.com/download">Symfony2 Standard Edition</a></li> <li>Add a new bundle called <code>CompanyExampleBundle</code> where company is the name of your company, group, or project. Don’t forget to add <code>Company</code> to the auto-loader in <code>app/autoload.php</code>, and register the bundle in <code>app/AppKernel.php</code>.</li> <li>Create a new controller at <code>src/Company/Controller/HelloWorldController.php</code> which renders a view <code>CompanyExample:HelloWorld:index.html.twig</code>. In the view, put in a nice little <code>Hello world!</code>.</li> <li><p>In <code>app/routing_dev.yml</code> change the <code>_welcome</code> route’s pattern to <code>/welcome</code>. Now go to <code>app/routing.yml</code> and add a route like so:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="ke">_hellowworld</span>: <span class="ke">pattern</span>: <span class="s">/</span> <span class="ke">defaults</span>: <span class="s">{ _controller: CompanyExampleBundle:HelloWorld:index }</span></pre></div> </div> </li> <li><p>At this point, verify that you can get to the new controller by traveling to <code>http://localhost/yourproject/web/app_dev.php/</code> in your browser. If you see a <code>Hello world!</code>, then you’re gravy. Now substitute <em>app_dev.php</em> for just <em>app.php</em> to access the production front controller and make sure you see the same thing. If you get a 400 or things appear to be as they were before, you might need to blow production cache. This can be done from the command line like so:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="fu">cd</span> <span class="other">/</span>to<span class="other">/</span>yourproject php app<span class="other">/</span>console <span class="other">-</span><span class="argument">-env=prod</span> cache<span class="other">:</span>clear</pre></div> </div> </li> <li><p>You’ve setup a new Symfony2 app and are ready to get going! Commit and push your application to Github then continue on to the next step.</p></li> </ol> <h2>Step 2, Create your app on PhpFog.</h2> <ol> <li>Login to <a href="https://phpfog.com/account">PhpFog</a> and select <em>Create a New App</em>.</li> <li>On Step 1 of the application wizard choose “Custom App” from the bottom left.</li> <li>On Step 2 it’s important to note that if you want to use <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/kriswallsmith/introducing-assetic-asset-management-for-php-53">Assetic</a>, then you need a paying box – this is because the shared tier does not support <a href="http://help.phpfog.com/discussions/problems/729-open_basedir-restriction">open_basedir</a>. If you aren’t going to use Assetic, go ahead and choose the free shared tier.</li> <li>On the final step choose a URL. If you decide to use a custom URL you will have to alter DNS settings, so for a quicker finish we’d suggest a phpfog url. Once you’ve done this hit the “Create Application” button and you’re done! Once the application has been provisioned you will receive an email and can continue onto the next step.</li> </ol> <h2>Step 3, Pushing your Symfony2 application to PhpFog</h2> <p>Pushing your app to PhpFog is really easy. It’s perhaps my favorite thing to do.</p> <ol> <li>Add the public key from the machine you are working on <code>~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</code> to the accepted SSH keys in your <a href="https://phpfog.com/account#/ssh_keys">Account Settings</a>.</li> <li>Now ho to the <em>Source Code</em> tab from your apps PhpFog admin panel and copy the git repository location.</li> <li><p>Finally, from the console, add phpfog as a remote and push. Like so:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>git remote add phpfog git<span class="other">@</span>git01<span class="other">.</span>phpfog<span class="other">.</span>com<span class="other">:</span>myproject<span class="other">.</span>phpfogapp<span class="other">.</span>com git push phpfog master <span class="other">-</span><span class="argument">-force</span> <span class="c"># should say something like 'deploying to the cloud' on success</span></pre></div> </div> </li> <li><p>Now test that your code made it up by accessing the <code>robots.txt</code> file that comes with Symfony2 by default. Should be at a url like so: <code>http://company.phpfogapp.com/web/robots.txt</code>. If this resolves, you’ve successfully deployed your code to the cloud!</p></li> </ol> <p>You’re not done yet, however, you still need to tweak you PhpFog app to Symfony2’s liking.</p> <h2>Step 4, Configure your PhpFog app for Symfony2</h2> <p>You’re almost there. There’s just a couple things left…</p> <ol> <li>Symfony2 caches all your configuration files to the <code>app</code> directory, and therefor needs write access. Go to the “Permissions” tab of your app’s admin panel and add the pathname <code>app</code> and save changes.</li> <li>Go to the “Settings” tab and change the <em>Base Directory</em> to <code>web</code>. This will tidy up your url, you won’t have to type in /web before accessing resources.</li> <li><p>Finally, you need a way to clear production cache, while in production. PhpFog doesn’t give console access so the simplest way to accomplish this is by creating a php script called <code>web/clean_prod_cache.php</code> with the code like so:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">php ../app/console env=prod cache:clear</span><span class="dl">`</span></span>; <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="s"><span class="dl">`</span><span class="k">php ../app/console env=prod cache:warm</span><span class="dl">`</span></span>;</pre></div> </div> <p> Now when you go to <code>http://company.phpfogapp.com/clean_prod_cache.php</code> the cache will be wiped and warmed. All ready to go.</p></li> </ol> <p>I hope that this guide helps both developers looking to use Symfony2 on PhpFog early as well as the PhpFog team in implementing Symfony2 support.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/using-symfony2-on-phpfog-now-right-now">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/using-symfony2-on-phpfog-now-right-now#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=IOdErf-YFJ4:9eP80sepTYw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=IOdErf-YFJ4:9eP80sepTYw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=IOdErf-YFJ4:9eP80sepTYw:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=IOdErf-YFJ4:9eP80sepTYw:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=IOdErf-YFJ4:9eP80sepTYw:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=IOdErf-YFJ4:9eP80sepTYw:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/IOdErf-YFJ4" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/yXizBdnQohY" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/using-symfony2-on-phpfog-now-right-nowhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/IOdErf-YFJ4/using-symfony2-on-phpfog-now-right-now Wed, 01 Jun 2011 13:21:00 -0700 PhpStorm equivilant of Eclipse's Open Resource Dialog. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/GDTG0jFvZiI/phpstorm-equivilant-of-eclipses-open-resource http://www.developly.com/phpstorm-equivilant-of-eclipses-open-resource <p> <p>My favorite by far feature of Eclipse is the ability to press <strong>CTRL + SHIFT + R</strong><em style="font-weight: bold;"> </em>to enable the "Open Resource" dialog, which allowed you to auto-search your projects file tree for a file.

You end up getting an error like <code>100 packages excluded due to repository priority protections</code>. The reason for this is that <code>zend.conf</code>, which Zend <a href="http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Server/rpm_installation.htm" title="Zend Server RPM Installation">instructs you to use</a>, doesn’t come with priorities specified by default. Simply update the conf file to include a priority to fix the issue. We added <code>priority=1</code> and <code>failovermethod=priority</code> to ours:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="other">[</span>Zend<span class="other">]</span>

http://www.developly.com/fixing-packages-excluded-yum-error-with-zendhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/nvl9rZqpaGE/fixing-packages-excluded-yum-error-with-zend Tue, 22 Mar 2011 09:45:00 -0700 3 Step Layouts in Zend Framework http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/Fa6AQf-YmP8/creating-3-step-layouts-with-zendlayout http://www.developly.com/creating-3-step-layouts-with-zendlayout <p> <p> Zend Framework provides the components <code>Zend_View</code> and <code>Zend_Layout</code> to facilitate developing the view layer of your application. These components are light, powerful, and nifty – making it easy to alter behavior slightly to achieve different rendering strategies. The primary strategy <a href="http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/learning.layout.usage.html" title="Using Zend_Layout">outlined by the framework</a> is the <a href="http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/twoStepView.html">Two Step View pattern</a>.</p> <p> While the Two Step View pattern creates a reasonable paradigm for seperating layout presentation from page presentation, enabling Three-level Inheritance allows for even better separation. In other words, using 3 Step Layouts is a possible and often necessary investment to make when implementing front-ends in Zend Framework projects; they allow fine grain re-usability that provides for a DRYer presentation layer.</p> <p> <img title="3 Step View pattern" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5185/5549407190_e3b13d282b.jpg" alt="3 Step View pattern" /></p> <h2>Setting up 3 Step Layouts</h2> <p><em>Nothing extra is needed to implement this pattern, just Zend Framework.</em></p> <h3>Step 1 – The Wrapper</h3> <p> The first step is to create a wrapper. A wrapper is just a view, there’s nothing special about it. Register your wrapper with Zend Framework by popping into <code>application.ini</code> and telling the Layout Resource that the wrapper is the default layout, also specifying where to find it:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>; application/configs/application.ini resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/layouts" resources.layout.layout = wrapper</pre></div> </div> <p> As a general rule of thumb all view behavior that needs to happen on every request, regardless of which controller or module is being accessed, belongs in the wrapper. Another way of saying it is that the wrapper is the bootstrap for the presentation layer. Here’s an example wrapper that can be used as a starting point. It’s a pretty good assumption that every application you create will at least start with a structure like so:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* application/views/layouts/wrapper.phtml */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* @var $this Zend_View */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->doctype().<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="ch">\n</span><span class="dl">"</span></span>; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><html></span> <span class="ta"><head></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headTitle(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headMeta(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headLink(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headStyle(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"></head></span> <span class="ta"><body></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* NESTED LAYOUT SUPPORT */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="r">if</span>(<span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->nestedLayout): <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->setLayout(<span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->nestedLayout); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="r">else</span>: <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->setLayout(<span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">default</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="r">endif</span>;<span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->render(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* OUTPUT JAVASCRIPT */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headScript(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->inlineScript(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"></body></span> <span class="ta"></html></span></pre></div> </div> <p> From here you should extend your wrapper to add global layout configuration for your app. By extending, I simply mean adding code directly to the wrapper in order to provide more functionality. Here are a few things that you might be done in your wrapper:</p> <ul> <li>Setting the doctype and charset</li> <li>Setting a base site title that will be appended to downstream</li> <li>Linking in CSS libraries like reset, grid system, font-stacks, etc…</li> <li>Attaching JavaScript libraries like JQuery, Dojo, YUI, etc…</li> <li><p>Inserting site tracking urchins</p> <p><em>Note that you should only ever need 1 wrapper in your application, needing more could be a symptom of poor design. Comment below if you find yourself in a jam.</em></p></li> </ul> <h3>Step 2 – The Nested Layout</h3> <p> If the wrapper is the bootstrap to our presentation layer, then a nested layout is the layout to our presentation layer. A nested layout is also just a regular <code>Zend_View</code> script that will be consumed by the wrapper we just created. It contains markup that is specific to your application. These blocks usually include the header and footer, and possibly different columns with placeholders for capture. Our wrapper looks for a layout called <em>default</em>. For the sake of the example we’re keeping it simple:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* application/views/layouts/default.phtml */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">container</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* @var $this Zend_View */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">header</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="ta"><h1></span>My Application<span class="ta"></h1></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">body</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->content; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">footer</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="ta"><p></span>Copyright 2011<span class="ta"></p></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"></div></span></pre></div> </div> <h3>Step 3 – The View</h3> <p> At this stage you simple allow Zend Framework to serve the view intended. You’re done. It’s a surprisingly simple solution that should prove to be worth the time taken to put in place.</p> <h2>Interchanging Nested Layouts</h2> <p> Further along your development you may find a need to switch out the layout for different reasons. Here are a couple ways to modify which nested layout will be used.</p> <h3>Changing the Nested Layout from a View</h3> <p> The default nested layout will more than likely be the layout you use for most pages, but in the case that you need a different layout – specifying one is easy. A common use case for this is switching to a modal layout, a centered window for less content. A good example is a login page:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* @var $this Zend_View */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->nestedLayout = <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">modal</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headTitle()->append = <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">Login</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><h1></span>Please Login<span class="ta"></h1></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->form; <span class="idl">?></span></pre></div> </div> <p> This will tell the wrapper that you want to use the layout <code>application/views/layouts/modal.phtml</code> instead of the default.</p> <h3>A Nested Layout Per Module</h3> <p> Another common scenario in Zend Framework is the use case of having a layout defined for each module – admin, www, editor, what have you. This is a slightly more advanced problem that can be solved using a Front Controller Plugin. Start by registering our soon-to-be plugin:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>; application/configs/application.ini resources.frontController.plugins.nl = Application_Plugin_NestedLayoutPerModule</pre></div> </div> <p> Now define a plugin that sets the nested layout to the module’s name</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="c">/* application/plugins/NestedLayoutPerModule.php */</span> <span class="co">Application_Plugin_NestedLayoutPerModule</span> <span class="r">extends</span> <span class="co">Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract</span> { <span class="r">public</span> <span class="r">function</span> <span class="fu">dispatchLoopStartup</span>(<span class="co">Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract</span> <span class="lv">$request</span>) { <span class="lv">$module</span> = <span class="lv">$request</span>->getModuleName(); <span class="lv">$front</span> = <span class="co">Zend_Controller_Front</span>::getInstance(); <span class="lv">$layout</span> = <span class="lv">$front</span>->getParam(<span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">bootstrap</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>)->getResource(<span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">layout</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>); <span class="lv">$layoutDir</span> = <span class="lv">$front</span>->getModuleDirectory() . <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">/views/layouts</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>; <span class="lv">$layout</span>->setScriptPath(<span class="lv">$layoutDir</span>); } }</pre></div> </div> <p> If you were accessing an admin module via the uri <code>/admin</code>, then the plugin would look for a file called <code>application/modules/admin/views/layouts/default.phtml</code>.</p> <h2>Variations – Nesting Nested Layouts</h2> <p> Once your nested layouts become fairly advanced, you might find it useful to create specialization yet again. Say, for example, up until now your main nested layout has a big fat 1 column layout. It’s served you well up until this point. Now you have a need to add a 2 and 3 column layout. You can create a new nested layout of course, but then you would have to recreate your extensive header and footer markup you crafted so carefully. You could move the header and footer to partials and pull them in in both nested layouts – but that requires an uneccessary contract. Instead, lets create another layout layer, a variation. To use variations, follow the same pattern as nested layouts. Replace <code>echo $this->layout()->content</code> with the following to allow your nested layout to look for the presense of a variation layout:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* application/views/layouts/default.phtml */</span> ?< <?php <span class="c">/* @var $this Zend_View */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">container</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">header</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="ta"><h1></span>My Application<span class="ta"></h1></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">body</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* VARIATIONS SUPPORT */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="r">if</span>(<span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->variation): <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->setLayout(<span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->variation); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->render(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="r">else</span>: <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->content; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="r">endif</span>;<span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">footer</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="ta"><p></span>Copyright 2011<span class="ta"></p></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"></div></span></pre></div> </div> <p> Now lets create a 2 column variation for our default nested layout:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* application/views/layouts/variations/default-2col.phtml */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* @var $this Zend_View */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">main</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->content; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"><div</span> <span class="an">class</span>=<span class="s"><span class="dl">"</span><span class="k">sidebar</span><span class="dl">"</span></span><span class="ta">></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->placeholder(<span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">sidebar</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"></div></span> <span class="ta"><footer></span> <span class="ta"><p></span>Copyright 2011<span class="ta"></p></span> <span class="ta"></footer></span></pre></div> </div> <p> Finally, from our login page, let’s take advantage of our new variation:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre><span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="c">/* @var $this Zend_View */</span> <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->layout()->variation = <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">default-2col</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->headTitle()->append = <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">Login</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><h1></span>Please Login<span class="ta"></h1></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="pd">echo</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->form; <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="idl"><?php</span> <span class="lv">$this</span>->placeholder(<span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">sidebar</span><span class="dl">'</span></span>)->captureStart(); <span class="idl">?></span> <span class="ta"><p></span>Forgot your password?

It’s sometimes useful to have a peep at how other framework’s addressing this problem, too. Symfony2, for example, uses a templating language called <a href="http://www.twig-project.org/">Twig</a> which makes it easy to implement this pattern. They’ve detailed their approach in their section on <a href="http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/book/templating.html#three-level-inheritance">Three-level Inheritance</a>. It’s impressive that Zend Framework, who supplies no templating language by default (other than PHP itself), allows for such crisp plain ‘ol PHP view implementations.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/creating-3-step-layouts-with-zendlayout">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/creating-3-step-layouts-with-zendlayout#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=GEbbVzfrvFQ:tMha-3H74Xg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=GEbbVzfrvFQ:tMha-3H74Xg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=GEbbVzfrvFQ:tMha-3H74Xg:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=GEbbVzfrvFQ:tMha-3H74Xg:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=GEbbVzfrvFQ:tMha-3H74Xg:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=GEbbVzfrvFQ:tMha-3H74Xg:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/GEbbVzfrvFQ" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/Fa6AQf-YmP8" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/creating-3-step-layouts-with-zendlayouthttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/GEbbVzfrvFQ/creating-3-step-layouts-with-zendlayout Wed, 09 Mar 2011 12:00:00 -0800 Installing Memcached as a Windows Service. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/-77SiNDr-hQ/installing-memcached-as-a-windows-service http://www.developly.com/installing-memcached-as-a-windows-service <p> <p>Here's a quick cmd recipe for installing memcached as a service on windows.

Then make a local SVK repository from your public URL by running the following command:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>svk ls http://my-repository.googlecode.com/svn</pre></div> </div> <p>Finally, make an svndump minus the first two revisions (these are SVK specific) by running this command:</p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div class="code"><pre>svnadmin dump -r2:HEAD C:\Users\Bob\.svk\local > bobs-dump</pre></div> </div> <p>Hopefully this helps fellow Windower's in need.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/getting-an-svndump-from-google-code-on-window">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/getting-an-svndump-from-google-code-on-window#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=RhozBZa12Kk:VoYfBjl3AZY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=RhozBZa12Kk:VoYfBjl3AZY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=RhozBZa12Kk:VoYfBjl3AZY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=RhozBZa12Kk:VoYfBjl3AZY:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=RhozBZa12Kk:VoYfBjl3AZY:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=RhozBZa12Kk:VoYfBjl3AZY:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/RhozBZa12Kk" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/69hmfZpGDZ8" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/getting-an-svndump-from-google-code-on-windowhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/RhozBZa12Kk/getting-an-svndump-from-google-code-on-window Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:15:00 -0800 Installing Zend Server CE with Puppet http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/b-HfIOKU3bo/installing-zend-server-ce-with-puppet http://www.developly.com/installing-zend-server-ce-with-puppet <p> <p style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>This article assumes working knowledge of installing and configuring <a href="http://www.puppetlabs.com/" title="Data Center Automation">Puppet</a>; if you aren't then read our article about <a href="http://3engineers.clariondoor.com/installing-puppet-on-ec2s-amazon-linux-ami">Installing Puppet on EC2's Amazon Linux AMI</a> or go to the source at <a href="http://docs.puppetlabs.com/">http://docs.puppetlabs.com/</a>. </em><em>At the time of this writing, Zend Server CE (PHP 5.3) 5.0.3 and Amazon Linux AMI 1.0 were used. </em></p> <p style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Puppetzendserver" height="117" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-11-08/IAFGEGCsIgzlawEsvsdljqEIuamwGeAannJDgDcnjmBupsgtoqgsxFlsroyc/puppetzendserver.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="450" /> </div> </em></p> <p style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As convenient as pre-built AMI's like this <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/amis/2663">32bit Zend Server CE 4 AMI</a> are, they leave something to be desired. How do you manage the machine <em>after</em> you deploy it? How do you upgrade Zend Server or its dependencies? This is where Puppet comes in. Puppet lets you define your machine in a simple modeling language, called Puppet Language. Once you have your machine declarations and your puppetmaster server running, you can orchestrate any number of machines. Every 30 minutes, by default, your clients will check in with the puppetmaster and update their configuration based on the corresponding node declaration. This makes it possible to upgrade packages or entirely restructure a box all from your succinct little declaration file. You can also push updates directly to your client machines. It's pretty nifty.</p> <p style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've whipped up a recipe for installing Zend Server CE on a rhel-flavored distro. In our case, that distro is Amazon Linux AMI but this should also work with Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, and Fedora.

using REST in Zend Framework make access to your common resources uniform and simple, they also can do the same for your front end. Instead of making new actions for every ajax request, simply reuse the same actions your REST controllers already have. Need to get a json representation of all resources of a certain type (say articles), then re-use ArticlesController::indexAction. Need to get just one? ArticlesController::getAction is your man. Create, update, or delete? PostAction, putAction, and deleteAction, respectively. Using the AjaxContext action helper, this is made possible in only a few lines. The example below uses Articles as the example resource at hand, and shows you how to interact with every action of your REST controller from your JavaScript front-end. We use Dojo to streamline the different type of AJAX calls but it should be fairly easy switching these methods out with those from your favorite library.</p> <p><div class="data type-ini"> <table class="lines" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <pre class="line_numbers"><span rel="#L1" id="L1">1</span> <span rel="#L2" id="L2">2</span> <span rel="#L3" id="L3">3</span> </pre> </td> <td width="100%"> <div class="highlight"><pre /><div class="line" id="LC1"><span class="c">;routes.ini</span></div><div class="line" id="LC2"><span class="na">routes.rest.type</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">Zend_Rest_Route</span></div><div class="line" id="LC3"><span class="na">routes.rest.default</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">articles</span></div></pre></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div></p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/using-ajaxcontext-with-zendrestcontroller-and">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/using-ajaxcontext-with-zendrestcontroller-and#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=XqtNBKeKXdA:PsKsGnriMYo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=XqtNBKeKXdA:PsKsGnriMYo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=XqtNBKeKXdA:PsKsGnriMYo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=XqtNBKeKXdA:PsKsGnriMYo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=XqtNBKeKXdA:PsKsGnriMYo:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=XqtNBKeKXdA:PsKsGnriMYo:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/XqtNBKeKXdA" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/qsOz1vxY1Xg" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/using-ajaxcontext-with-zendrestcontroller-andhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/XqtNBKeKXdA/using-ajaxcontext-with-zendrestcontroller-and Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:31:00 -0700 Setting up RESTful routes with Zend_Rest_Route and Zend_Config_Ini http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/LE0Q4vkvWkY/setting-up-restful-routes-with-zendrestroute http://www.developly.com/setting-up-restful-routes-with-zendrestroute <p> <p>Lets say you have a thing in your system, a resource rather.

http://www.developly.com/5-online-comics-every-developer-should-rss <p> <p>Webcomics are great. Well, some are. Most are too long, posted too often, and not too funny. A surprising amount of online comics don't even embed images in their feeds. We've rounded up a list of quality, light, and readable webcomics that will stand the test of time in any developer's feed reader.</p> <h3>Utopia Theory</h3> <p><a href="http://www.utopiatheory.com/" title="Utopia Theory - A Webcomic For The Rest Of Us"> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Utopiatheory" height="356" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-10-19/wFmmeqtsIkdfpEmfCAlezbfhgzctsoaJCaJtDHxveuCracsJBkJjAhpJrhdc/utopiatheory.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="479" /> </div> </a>Our absolute favorite. Utopia Theory's strips are short and sweet, making it a no-lose comic to RSS. The bits often include popular pop culture characters like Spongebob, Ms Pacman, Mr. Potato Head, Aladdin, and Tony the Tiger in unfortunate real life situations. Do yourself a service and nab this Farside-esque feed. Get the RSS <a href="http://www.utopiatheory.com/feed/" title="Utopia Theory RSS Feed">Here</a>.</p> <h3>Abstruse Goose</h3> <p><a href="http://abstrusegoose.com/" title="Abtruse Goose"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Abtrusegoose" height="128" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-10-19/lzcpEJzudJmEaiEIBtdzgqEsnfdlxChIfubirxplgaznkigJtmFAjBhJehDl/abtrusegoose.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /> </div> </a>Abtruse Goose is blog any intellectual with a sense of humor will enjoy. Linux, string theory, pi, physics, math, engineering, computers, and other geekery meets every day scenarios. Enjoy this <a href="Abstruse Goose Feed" title="http://abstrusegoose.com/feed">feed</a> over your next build or code compilation.</p> <h3>Calvin and Hobbes</h3> <p><a href="http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/" title="Calvin and Hobbes"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Calvinandhobbes" height="159" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-10-19/liHkpEGnorpedfnhhJkldlAkwffenkmvCfqgpswemEIIkFhgmuCldflHElcl/calvinandhobbes.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /> </div> </a>Aaah the simpler days. Those who remember Calvin and Hobbes might be surprised to find out it's available on the web. Little introduction is needed for the the little boy and his stuffed tiger. Unfortunately, their feed doesn't embed the images. We've got a secret though; the site and their feed is ridden with ads but this <a href="http://galliver.cx/feeds/comics/calvinandhobbes/" title="Calvin and Hobbes Feed">RSS feed</a> is sparkling clean.</p> <h3>Crimes Against Hugh's Manitees</h3> <p><a href="http://crimesagainsthughsmanatees.tumblr.com/" title="Crimes Against Hugh"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Crimes_against_hughs_manitees" height="236" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-10-19/qndGrmjHjogHalnvhgpylHxhqwtyjnoJBjckvIHumsiopnxJsAAojxIcsJGd/crimes_against_hughs_manitees.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /> </div> </a>Crimes Against Hugh's Manitees is an obscure webcomic which features animals with personality disorders. Very light and humorous. Looks like the comics are made by hand with construction paper, a felt tip, and glue. We keep these little guys around for the awkward honesty and clever anthropomorphism. Furry feed <a href="http://crimesagainsthughsmanatees.tumblr.com/rss" title="Crimes Against Hughs Manitees">Here</a>.</p> <h3>Xkcd</h3> <p><a href=" title=" title=">here</a></p> <h3>Xkcd</h3> <p><a href="><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Grownups" height="165" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-10-19/gvwIegkeBnaFDAzCzhGzDHDDDxjuvohuenkkFCwJlolpeHHdBHtGywBhzmoC/grownups.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /> </div> </a>What list of comics would be complete without Xkcd. It's minimalistic and brilliant. Sometimes it's on the longer side, we pick and choose. One things for sure, we'd have been reminded about Xkcd if we didn't include it so snag the feed <a href="http://xkcd.com/rss.xml" title="Xkcd Feed">Here</a>.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.developly.com/5-online-comics-every-developer-should-rss">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.developly.com/5-online-comics-every-developer-should-rss#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=LDiKVR5rFMA:7JBVB3D22zs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=LDiKVR5rFMA:7JBVB3D22zs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=LDiKVR5rFMA:7JBVB3D22zs:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=LDiKVR5rFMA:7JBVB3D22zs:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?a=LDiKVR5rFMA:7JBVB3D22zs:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/cd3engineers?i=LDiKVR5rFMA:7JBVB3D22zs:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cd3engineers/~4/LDiKVR5rFMA" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Developly/~4/286pMqNmz_4" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1205051/cdLogoSquare.png http://posterous.com/users/4SnyMxfpGu8p ClarionDoor ClarionDoor http://www.developly.com/5-online-comics-every-developer-should-rsshttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cd3engineers/~3/LDiKVR5rFMA/5-online-comics-every-developer-should-rss Fri, 15 Oct 2010 11:46:00 -0700 Installing Puppet on EC2's Amazon Linux AMI - The No-nonsense Version. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Developly/~3/XWSRN4d_LmQ/installing-puppet-on-ec2s-amazon-linux-ami http://www.developly.com/installing-puppet-on-ec2s-amazon-linux-ami <p> <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Pupec2" height="117" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-10-15/bDgsvfDyfFggphsoIvgvmIeoBdobojgrqjCfgFibnGtyBfiHDklBrrkzenFw/pupec2.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="450" /> </div> Amazon Web Services only recently released their <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/">Amazon Linux AMI</a>; a stable, secure, rhel-flavored, and performant Linux environment for applications running on EC2. The AMI is free, automatically updated, and EBS or S3 backed. It also comes with Ruby pre-installed. This makes it a killer platform for installing <a href="http://www.puppetlabs.com/puppet/introduction/">Puppet</a>, an open source data center automation and configuration management framework.
