  • A comet over PHProjekt 6

    So far PHProjekt 6 (P6, see http://phprojekt.com) is already enhanced with nice AJAX workflows and snappy user-experience. Nevertheless, we discussed a way to provide synchronous communication and direct information within the application. Everybody knows GoogleMail with its easy to use frontend.

  • Mayflower LDAP at Barcamp

    At the Barcamp 2009 Alex, Michele, Michel, Markus, Sven and I continued a project that had already begun at the Barcamp 2008 – Creating an LDAP structure for internal Mayflower use and implementing a basic tool set for the administration.

  • Dojo 1.0 released

    Gestern wurde endlich die Version 1.0 von Dojo released (http://dojotoolkit.org). Im Vergleich zu Dojo 0.43 hat sich in Version 1.0 einiges getan, die wichtigste Änderung: es werden nun die Funktionalitäten sauber getrennt in drei kleinere "Projekte". Persönlich freue ich mich, dass in Sachen Performance sich einiges getan hat und die Engine massiv beschleunigt wurde. Bereits…

  • An alternative Approach to Tagging

    The Term Tagging The popular feature of ‚tagging‘ content is nothing new. The average netizen should have encountered it by now.

The viewer can then use these tags to navigate through one…
