JairoSolutions Blog

Just want to share this nice article I’ve found from Nettuts.com. And let me quote these words from Glen Stansberry,

With PHP’s widespread adoption,it’s almost too easy to find a script or snippet to do exactly what you need. Unfortunately, there’s no filter as to what is a “good practice” and what’s, well… not so good when writing a PHP script. We need trustworthy sources, who have proven they have a solid grasp on the best practices of PHP.

We need PHP masters to show us the best principles to follow for high-grade PHP programming.

And here are the 10 Principles of PHP Masters:

1. Use PHP Only When You Need it - Rasmus Lerdorf
2. Use Many Tables With PHP and MYSQL for Scalability - Matt Mullenweg
3. Never, ever trust your users - Dave Child
4. Invest in PHP Caching - Ben Balbo
5. Speed up PHP Development with an IDE, Templates and Snippets - Chad Kieffer
6. Make Better Use of PHP’s Filter Functions - Joey Sochacki
7. Use a PHP Framework - Josh Sharp
8. Don’t use a PHP Framework - Rasmus Lerdorf
9. Use Batch Processing - Jack D. Herrington
10. Turn on Error Reporting Immediately - David Cummings

Wondering why they have said those things? Read the full article here.  Feel free to voice out your opinion here guys especially the geeks out there.

I wasn’t really able to sleep that much the night before we will have our outing. Aside from the fact that I have the difficulty of sleeping, the excitement I am feeling somehow adds up. Well you know, JairoSolutions is the first company I have work with and I will be experiencing my first company outing. (Whew! As in for the first time)

So I turned in late. I mean, slept only during wee hours - few hours to go for our rendezvous. (Jaaahhhh.. ) But its fine with me, I can handle it. My mom will wake me up also, she’s like my alarm clock in times like this. Hehehehe..

And the day has finally arrived where we heads out to spend some time together outside the office. Hmmnphh.. It was definitely a great way to loosen up a bit and where was that again? Oh, in Km. 20 Los Amigos Tugbok where you can find Villa Christina Orchids Garden and Resort last August 30.

We were at awe to see the beauty of the place - the romantic flowers, the long and attracting swimming pool, fruits (durian, pomelo), cottages, etc…We went around taking pictures almost everywhere. Some started the singing Bee challenge already (special mention to Doods and Aloha), chit-chats, drinking session as well as the preparation of food. Speaking of the latter, I am so eager to know what will be served before us. (Stomach was growling..hehehehe) Okay….so we have lechon, fried chicken, grilled pork and fish, pansit, fruit salad and some junkfoods also. The food was more than enough to satisfy our enormous appetites. Hehehehe..(Bring house lagi). In between things we had time to dip in the water, played some fun games, sung our lungs out and drank our selves(is that right?) and even relax a bit in the shade.

There are dozens more moments like this, but this post would be too long & self-indulgent to recapture them all. Suffice it to say we had a great time. And of course, after expending all that energy, some wrapped up the day with another meal before heading back, the better part of exhausted, to each of our homes, for a hot shower and bed.

Au Revoir! I’m honestly at a loss for words now.  So let the above pics speak of what we had that day. Wakekkekeke…Arigato gozaimasu everyone for the wonderful experience and for everything.
