Paul Jones’ Blog: Teaser for php|works

Paul Jones will be one of the presenters at this year’s php/db|works Conference happening up in Toronto this week and he’s offering a teaser of his talk (here’s the synopsis) for those interested - “Organizing Your PHP Projects”.

Fans of Henry Hazlitt’s “Economics in One Lesson” will recognize the kind of talk I have in store, although I don’t have the time available to expound in detail the way Hazlitt does. The talk will consist of a one-sentence lesson for you to remember when deciding how to organize your PHP project, whether it’s a library, an application, a CMS, or a framework. I’ll then explain how to apply the One Lesson in your project, and the various follow-on effects the One Lesson will have on your project organization.

He also jokes that he’ll be the only presenter to use references to livestock, Jimmy Hoffa, and Mir as a part of the talk. He’s even included a slide of the presentation for even more info.

Community News: EncoderCompare.com Launched

When it comes to protecting your code, you definitely want to find the right product for your needs. Finding the information on all of the encoders out there can be a task in itself, though. Fortunately, EncoderCompare.com has been created to give you a quick and easy reference.

Whilst we would always recommend the use of the ionCube Encoder product to protect your PHP source code when distributing your product to customers and users, there are several other products available to choose from.

To help with this, we have launched a comparison website which lists the available encoders and compares their features. The feature set is standardised so that it is possible to compare like for like in a clear manner.

Currently, there’s fifteen encoders listed with all of their stats - protection types, restrictions available, what OSes it has loaders for, the availability of licensing, and the pricing. There’s links to get more specific information on each as well.
