phpSprockets Intro to phpSprockets
On one of my recent days off, I decided to figure out how these screencast things work. To that end, I threw together a quick Introduction to phpSprockets. It’s obviously my first screencast, so be gentle. You’re watching about Take 45, if it matters.
If you want, just download the video.
Like what you see? Head over to our Google Code page to download the latest release, read more tutorials, and provide feedback!
Also, I’m certain our resident Graphic Artists wouldn’t mind throwing together some awesome “Made with phpSprockets” buttons, so expect to see those and an awesome download link within the next few days.
phpSprockets You got some OOXML on my Sprockets
We had another nice win for Sprockets this week; web-based Microsoft Excel .xls output.
Personally, I hate Excel. I regard Microsoft’s desktop applications as poorly made, marketing-led disasters which achieve sales at the cost of productivity and happiness across the globe. Considering the immense assets available to Microsoft, it is truly astonishing that they produce applications that make no sense, are ugly, inconsistent, do not work properly, frustrate their users, and waste resources. In Microsoft’s litany of crimes against humanity, Excel is #1, somehow managing to be even more awful than Word. I truly hate Excel and always will.
However, client wants Excel format, so I love Excel.
Open Source, phpSprockets Coping with toxic code
Regular readers of this blog will notice how we've spruced the place up a little recently. A little Photoshop here, a little CSS there, a nod to contemporary design mores, it all works wonders. We should have a party to celebrate. We really should. As you may know, this blog uses WordPress, so the redesign delivery consisted of a WordPress theme. And since Innova is very much an eat-your-own-dog-food kind of place, we wanted the new theme to use our open source offering, phpSprockets.
And there begins a cautionary tale. Continue Reading…
General, Software, phpSprockets phpSprockets en espanol
phpSprockets merits a link at the wonderfully frank El Blog de Leech, who regard it as an essential PHP library alongside swiftmailer, ezSQL, ADOdb, Logger, JSON-PHP, ezComponents, GeSHi, SimplePie, JpGraph, Sparklines, FeedCreator, spyc, DomPDF, FPDF and XDebug, amongst a bunch of fine PEAR stalwarts.
As de Leech puts it, phpSprockets is A veces el generar HTML suele ser una tarea tediosa, which I translate as A cow of generated HTML only on a boring cake.
General, Open Source, phpSprockets sprocketMan has crossed the Atlantic
I've been checking the phpSprockets download count on Google Code like a fiend, and was pleased when I came back to Columbus today to see our lovable little mascot, ElegentyMcGracefull on German PHP blog phpblogger.net.
Eddie had Kent translate it earlier, but without the benefit of our German Lit scholar's services this evening, I used Google's translation service, which doesn't handle German leet-speak well.
Small HTML Fetzen, which draws itself across the complete code and simply only shits look. And with genuine object orientation has to also do nix. For such cases gibts phpsprockets HTML/XML the generator.
What means Sprocket…this library is perfect and elegant solution. For whole Templates large muck.
Eddie was assured the review was positive. Bröckchen for Bröckchen.
