IoC or Inversion of Control is one of the core features of Spring. It helps in simplifying the implementation of business logic. To use the Spring Framework to its full potential, understanding the IoC container of the framework is essential. Hence, in this discussion, the focus will be on the IoC – the concept as well as the container provided by Spring Framework.
Image hosting services are pretty popular in today’s overly animated and graphical World Wide Web. Almost on a day-to-day basis, we face situations where we need to host images in order to post them on a forum or share them with friends. In this article, we will discuss how to set up your own image hosting service on your web server, a la ImageShack. We will cover only freeware solutions.
Welcome to the ninth installment in our look at working with hashes and lists in Perl. In our previous article we learned how to add records to a hash, replace them, and delete the values inside of them. In this article we will learn how to check whether records reside within our hashes, write the data within a hash to a file, and create multidimensional lists.
If you’re a web developer who wants to learn how to create simple benchmarking scripts with PHP, this set of comprehensive articles will offer you a friendly introduction to the subject. Welcome to the final part of the series “Benchmarking Applications with PHP.” Made up of three tutorials, this series teaches you, via copious hands-on examples, how to implement some simple approaches to determine the performance of different PHP applications. Discuss (1)
Everybody has heard the “a picture is worth a thousand words” proverb. That’s true. It is important to be able to manage and organize our pictures, especially when we have a relatively large amount of web storage space. One of the ways to accomplish this is by setting up web-based image gallery management applications. In this article, we are going to tackle this subject and present some real-world applicable solutions. Discuss (1)
Welcome to the eighth episode in our series on Perl Lists and Hashes. In this article we will discuss how to add a record to a hash, as well as how to remove a record from one. We will also cover how to check to see if a record already exists in our hash, how to write the data contained in one to a file, and quite possibly go over the basics of multidimensional lists. Discuss (1)
If you’ve been using PHP for a while, then it’s possible that you want to learn how to create benchmarking scripts. If this is true, then this series of tutorials will be pretty helpful. Welcome to the second article of the series “Benchmarking applications with PHP.” Composed of three parts, this series walks you through the development of several approaches aimed at benchmarking specific blocks of code and even entire PHP applications.

UNIX format timestamps have an extensive range of use. You will find out the main reasons that back up this claim, but for now, let’s say that it is because working with dates and times in the UNIX time format is easier and more resource efficient. In this article, our goal is to demystify the concept, learn the theory that lies behind it, and ultimately write algorithms and implementations that convert dates back and forth from the traditional ISO standard to UNIX format. Discuss (1)
Thanks for stopping by for this seventh part in the series on Perl Lists and Hashes. Here we will discuss working with a new way to store data known as a Hash. We'll cover the basics, such as how to create them, and how to locate data within them. You'll learn to add records, remove records, and much more. If there is time, we will also cover multidimensional lists. Discuss (3)
Benchmarking a particular application across its different development cycles is one of the most exciting things for a PHP developer. If you’re anything like me, you have had your head spinning with questions, such as… is the performance of my last project good enough? How long does it take to fetch a particular data set from my database? Do I have to implement a caching system? As you can see, these and other dilemmas (add your own to the list) sometimes make peace of mind a nearly impossible goal. Discuss (3)
NEW! Addressing software-as-a-service challenges using Tivoli security and WebSphere solutions Building a software-as-a-service solution requires addressing a few key technical challenges. In this webcast, we'll focus on the role of IBM Tivoli Directory Server and WebSphere Portlet Factory in creating a Software as a Service solution. We will demonstrate how to use Tivoli Directory Server to prevent the user population of one tenant from accessing the virtual portal and portlet components of another tenant. We will also use the dynamic profile capability of WebSphere Portlet Factory to create multiple highly customized applications from one code base.
