		<content:encoded><![CDATA[I've written extensively about Safari Books Online in the past. Six articles in total at this point, and yet somehow, as I delve deeper into the company's repertoire of goodies, I keep uncovering new things to discuss. To me, this speaks volumes not only about the depth of their product, but also about the flexibility and ingenuity of their offerings. I've covered the basic offerings: books, technical articles, and search capabilities. I've spoken to the cross-platform agility of their mobile and tablet apps. And in the last article, I took you inside their video vault, a treat for those visua...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have said it a thousand times in the past: I love Safari Books Online  Their vast array of books covering virtually every technical topic known to man is unparalleled and using their system could not be any simpler. Add to that the fact that you can access over 17,000 books not just by computer, but by mobile devices such as the iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and so on (for more on this, see my review here: Safari Books Online Mobile Review), and you have a truly unbeatable product that any technical professional should have in their arsenal.

		<description><![CDATA[Ive written about the great offerings and benefits of online book repositories (or digital libraries) like Safari Books Online in the past – as a writer, editor, and all-around book lover, the service is invaluable to me. It saves me time, money, and lets me preview books before I purchase them, or just grab the information I need without filling my house with a mountain of books. But a repository is only as great as the books it contains, so in this article, I am going to delve into this “digital library” and see just how much content it truly has.]]></description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Being editor-in-chief of a network of sites related to technology means that you constantly have to keep up with the latest in technology. Did CSS just get a new upgrade? What is the most current version of PHP? What got changed in the most recent version? There are so many languages and technologies out there, it would literally take a mountain of books to keep up. And since I live in a modest home with a wife that constantly eyes my ever-growing army of bookcases, I have to be selective about the books I buy. Add to that a busy freelance life that revolves around research and a natural love ...]]></content:encoded>

Linux World Expo did it again this year in New York, supplying thousands of locals as well as world wide travelers with another great expo held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York, New York. LWE was not just a company product showcase, but more about growth with the Open Source solution Linux. In this article I discuss the different companies that attended LWE this year.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ IBM is one of the most strident supporters of the Linux movement.  IBM's booth had many different rack servers running. Why is IBM committed to Linux?  The gentleman at the booth informed me that IBM wanted to have the flexibility to supply top industry standards to large and small businesses. Giving the customer what they want and what they need at a reasonable price is a top priority for IBM. IBM is one of the many sponsors for Open Source Development Lab (OSDL).  OSDL is the first independent, non-profit lab for developers who are adding enterprise capabilities to Linux. Novell is committe...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[This week we'll be reviewing Zend's IDE + Debugger combination, which as the 
name suggests provide a complete development environment for PHP. While the IDE 
and Debugger are separate products, they really depend on each other so much, 
that we'll treat them as one complete product in this review.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, Zend finally released their long awaited product line, including much needed products, such as a stable, quality Cache as well as an encoder that allows you to encrypt and distribute your code. But are these products all that they're hyped to be? Are they worth their price tags? Over the next couple of weeks I will be offering you my reviews of the different Zend products, the Zend Launchpad, the Zend IDE + Debugger, the Zend Cache and the Zend encoder.

encoded versions of your software, therefore protecting your intellectual property 
and making sure that your licenses are upheld. First we go over exactly what the 
encoder does and a little bit of how it works, and then I'll move on to cover 
the open source alternative(s) and finally, give our humble opinion on the product.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week we will cover the Zend Cache, A script caching mechanism from 
Zend which will save pre-compiled versions of PHP scripts in order to 
avoid having to re-compile them every time, resulting in huge performance 
benefits. First we will go over the strengths and weaknesses of Zend's Cache 
and then we will move onto comparing the Zend Cache to other, open-source, 
free cache's.]]></description>
