ZendFramework example on using Google URL Shortener service

Seems like URL shorteners have gain extreme popularity with web services like Twitter. Not to mention the fact that long URLs are somewhat hard to pass along. They are also harder to verbalize in a conversation, and above all in some cases they are almost impossible to remember.

There are quite a large number of URL shorteners out there these days, mostly free. One of the freshest is Google’s URL shortener. This article is not about outlining the features that make this shortener better then the other ones (as I am sure some offer more features at the moment). This article is merely for the purpose of showing you how easy it is to use the Google URL Shortener service via your ZendFramework libraries. Read more

Review of Zend Studio for Eclipse Professional Edition 6.1

Review of Zend Studio for Eclipse Professional Edition 6.1

For the last 3 months, all of my Web development has been done in NetBeans 6.5. I got hooked on it ever since the beta version brought PHP support to it. NetBeans has several great advantages and even greater features to shadow out most of the commercial, freeware, or open source IDE solutions.

One of the best things about NetBeans is a excellent support for HTML code and added support for jQuery, Prototype, and general JavaScript. However, one thing I simply hate about NetBeans is its speed. Since most of my development is in Magento and WordPress platforms (and Magento itself comes with more than 7000 files), this can really slow down NetBeans. So I decided to look for another solutions, if any :) Today I decided to download and try out the latest Zend Studio release, Zend Studio for Eclipse Professional Edition.
