One year – since your death, Father

2oth March 2005, you left us. I was so shocked when I got the news in my mobile that I was speechless. I could not see you at that moment. Maybe you wanted to see me for the last time, but I was not by your side because of my job. You cant ever imagine how pathetic was the day, how i was feeling at that moment. Father, how are you now?

One year has gone. I cant share my happy newses with you, I cant share my feeling with you anymore. When it was your time to see my works, enjoy my achivements, at that time you left us.

I am missing you. May your soul rest in peace.

Father, can you see the teardrops in my eye?

My First Book – Smarty

Smarty BookSmarty PHP Template Programming and Applications
In Detail

Smarty is a templating engine for PHP. Designers who are used to working with HTML files can work with Smarty templates, which are HTML files with simple tags while programmers work with the underlying PHP code. The Smarty engine brings the code and templates together. The result of all this is that designers can concentrate on designing, programmers can concentrate on programming, and they don’t need to get in each others way so much.
Even if you are developing a site on your own, Smarty is a powerful way to make your code clearer to you and others, as well as easier to debug and modify later.

What you will learn from this book

This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of using Smarty. It will help you to:

* Install and configure Smarty on your Web server
* Understand how Smarty affects your web site architecture, and build site foundations that make the most of what Smarty offers
* Designers will learn to work with templates that contain variables and logic, to modify layouts or content of Smarty web sites
* See how Smarty caching can improve the performance of your sites
* Develop custom Smarty functions and plug-ins to incorporate into your templates

Approach

Using a step-by-step approach based on realistic examples, the expert authors show you how to use Smarty in your own PHP development.

Who this book is written for

This book is written for PHP developers who want to use Smarty templates in their development, and for designers who are working with PHP developers who are using Smarty.

Forever and Ever, Amen

You may think that I’m talking foolish
You’ve heard that I’m wild & I’m free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I’m feeling for you always will be
You’re not this time that I’m killing
I’m no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours till the day that I die — oh baby

I’m gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithfull
I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever, amen

They say that time takes it’s toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don’t care, I’m not in love with your hair
And if it all fell out well I’d love you anyway
They say that time can play tricks on a memory
And people forget things that they knew
But it’s easy to see it’s happening to me
I’ve already forgotten every woman but you — oh baby

I’m gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithfull
I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever, amen

Just recieved the Developer license from Infosoft Global

I was surprised when Pallav Nadhani from InfosoftGlobal offered me one developer license of their award winning product, FusionChart to help in developing interfaces for their charts. I was working for developing interfaces for different fucion chart entity few months ago. Pallav is very interestd about that project and he offered my a developer license.

Infosoft Global is also sponsoring our monthly coding contest with thier products.

Zephyr is quite stable now. It’s public beta has been released recently after a long break. Already there are 400+ download. I am still planning to make some big chage in it.

RoR (aka Ruby on Rails) is a great product. I have recently been interested in it. A very handy tool for rapidly developing the web applications. I like it.

zephyr – the work done so far

zephyr is now a complete ajax based framework for php5. you will find it extremely small, fast and ofcourse really easy to learn and implement. i am very happy with the things i have done so far. last couple of days i have seperated the package layer so that you can easily manage your packages and deploy them in zephyr. also last night i have made the framework search engine optimized. you know basically ajax applications are not search engine friendly unless they are explicitely taken care off. thats why zephyr now supports a “permalink” to each and every action with custom action parameters. its so easy to make the permalink. now you can make SEO applications easily with zephyr.

so far i have used adoDB as the default DAL for zephyr. but i am planning to implement creole to test the performance. another cool thing you may find in zephyr is that you can use smarty as ur default templating engine. if you want anything else, sorry guys, i think you have to implement that urself. i keep a wraper over the template engine so that wont seem a big problem to you.

i would also test if i can use anything else instead of CPAINT. actually i am trying to eliminate the redundancy and code blocks which may degrade the performance of zephyr.

Hello world!

Cool, I am so lucky that I got the domain at wordpress.com, I am a very happy blogger now. I will keep posting regulary about me and my open source activities.
