PHP displaces C++ position ^^ yuppy

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:25:31 +0100

Finally, PHP gets the 3rd postiton, it means that PHP is the TOP 3 of programming languages based on their popularity in March 2010. Now, I''m working with PHP for this internship, just feel quite happy because of using the Top 3 programming language. :p
How about you? What language do you like? The following is the top 5 rating table I got from http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html

Rating

The ratings are calculated by counting hits of the most popular search engines. The search query that is used is

+"<language> programming"

The search query is executed for the regular Google, Google Blogs, MSN, Yahoo!, Wikipedia and YouTube web search for the last 12 months. The web site Alexa.comhas been used to determine the most popular search engines.

Hope PHP can be the winner again when it became the winner of programming language in 2004.

jMonthCalendar (jQuery plugin)

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:53:18 +0100

jMonthCalendar is a full month calendar that supports events. You simply initialize the calendar with options and an events array and it can handle the rest. The plugin does have extension points that allow the developer to interact with the calendar when the display is about to change months, after the display has changed months and when the event bubbles are clicked on. jMonthCalendar now supports hover extension points, hover over an event and trigger an event like an alert(); By default the events would each have a URL supplied that would link to a details page.

Useful plugin from bytecyclist.com ^^ I'm going to use it on my project

Firebug Lite

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 20:04:52 +0100

Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but what happens when you need to test your pages in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari? The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named "Firefox".

Firebug Lite creates the variable "firebug" and doesn't affect or interfere with HTML elements that aren't created by itself.

Installing Firebug Lite 1.2

Insert this line of code into any page that you want to contain Firebug lite:

    <script type='text/javascript' 
        src='http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js'>

That's all.. ^^
The script's very useful and I use this script during my internship, coz I have to design and build a website using Internet Explorer (I.E). So, if you need Firebug in I.E/ Opera/ Safari/ etc browsers, you can use this amazing script. Here is the screenshoot :
