If you are using an HTML table element to do any layout (I know who does that really?), placing the YUI Datatable with sortable column headers will break!  This issue has been patched in YUI 2.8.0, but for those of us who are not living on the edge, here is the fix!

Via YUI library

Thanks YUI!

While I have been using the debugger triggered through the web browsing environment for several years, today I figured out how to debug code executed from the Command Line Interface.

QUERY_STRING=”start_debug=1&debug_host=127.0.0.1&no_remote=1&debug_port=10000&debug_stop=1″ ./symfony project:create-orders –application=admin

When you combine Zend Studio, Zend Debugger, the Zend Framework, and the Symfony framework you have a combination that can’t be beat!

Thanks to the Zend knowledge base for the CLI tip!

The term Web 2.0 ‘birthed’ itself on us just 3 or so years ago, amid the proliferation (or acceptance) of social monster sites (you know, the ones we all use but don’t want to admit how much). Since then, the internet universe has adopted Web 2.0 design pinash, and technology  “response-ware” by taking the lead. Big, beautiful wide screen layouts and instant gratification functionality after clicking a link or button – great!

Now – I propose we do something with the term Web 2.0:

It doesn’t do the technology and design justice. It sounds as though the whole internet is a mundane release of desktop software, or a new cell phone revision. While understating it’s own importance, the term Web 2.0 it is actually not understated enough. What I mean is – Web 2.0 has simply upped the bar for creating the type of web technology we really wanted all along – and – it has exponentially increased the pace at which new innovations can take root.

We used to look at the web and be able to find something we didn’t like with every page we visited (at least I did). Space concerns, technical limitations, bandwidth concerns – they all had a stranglehold on things our other media counterparts had successfully resolved. Our print cousins’ technology doesn’t limit good visual communication. Our desktop software uncles don’t fret as much over dynamic intuitive functionality.

So again – Now that we are further along – can we just call it the WEB again? Or do we need another catch-phrase (a more encompassing one, a more market savvy one)…

Rich Internet Media – or RIM – may work.

Or maybe:

Web Technical Heaven – WTH (otherwise known as What the Heck)

Or possibly:

Sensational Heterogeneous Internet Technology – I won’t illustrate the acronym

Potentially:

World Evolution Base – or WEB (that’s a good one!)

So let’s get on with just calling it the Web, and make sure the team you have building yours is well versed in the scope of possibilities, and experienced in that scope. A team like jWeb Media. (That’s a Shameless Sales Plug – and yes – SSP to you acronym lovers…)
