Stop waiting, start array dereferencing in PHP now!
Ever since I started programming object oriented PHP I've been using function chaining and function dereferencing. But there is another thing I'd like to be able to do that was added to the PHP trunk over 8 months ago that still hasn't made it to the current release. The function I'm referring to is array dereferencing. Because I got tired of waiting for this to be included in PHP 5.4 or 6 I decided to write a little code snippit for this exact purpose.
Using groovyc To Compile Groovy Scripts
For most Groovy scripts I use, I simply run the script from its Groovy source code as-is and allow the compilation to take place implicitly. However, it can be helpful at times to use groovyc to compile Groovy code into .class files and then execute those .class files via the normal Java launcher (java). The groovyc compiler is also a necessity when mixing Groovy and Java code in the same compilation step.

HTTP Optimization the easy way: Part 1, how do I know?
Modern websites necessarily make a lot of requests for resources back to the server. Through books like those by Steve Souders we’ve become increasingly aware that each of these requests causes a delay in whatever it is your user has requested being downloaded and displayed. If you don’t have both of Steve’s books, get them…and spend an hour or two going through his site…it’s awesome stuff. The term commonly used for the various efforts to reduce the number of requests made to a server is HTTP Optimization.
Springing into Tcat
In this post, we look at two scenarios where deploying on Tcat can help you to go further with your Spring web applications. For this, we will leverage Tcat’s configuration profile mechanism that, among other things, allows an orderly deployment of files anywhere within a Tomcat’s directory hierarchy.
Getting Started with Memcached Distributed Memory Caching
Cache is memory used to store the most frequently used resources, because accessing resources from a cache is faster than accessing them from a disk drive. So Memcached means "memorycached," which simply is caching resources in the memory. These resources can be data retrieved from API calls, database operations or even HTML pages. The data is stored in key/value pairs in the form of large hash tables.
Speed Dating – Using time compression instead of MDX Cubes to deliver rapid data analysis
The term “data warehouse” may have originated because it once took a literal warehouse to hold all the servers you needed to store a few gigabytes of information. We now live in extraordinary times where usb drives given away as promotional items can store the equivalent. The approaches taken by data professionals have not caught up to the unfathomable progress hardware has made.
