Guvernul a aprobat strategia națională e-România, propusă de Ministerul Comunicațiilor și Societății Informaționale (MCSI), Executivul alocând aproape jumătate de miliard de euro pentru perioada 2010-2013.

În acest moment, e-Romania este prezentat ca un portal CONCEPT. Informaţiile cuprinse nu au caracter definitv, urmând ca, respectând configuraţia actuală, să se construiască o bază de informare coerentă şi integrată.

…

e-Romania va fi poarta ta spre serviciile guvernamentale!

Solutia este atat de “complexa” incat include opensource (tot respectul, dar gratuit) pentru administrare si continut (CMS bazat pe http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/). Deci, 500 mil. euro e pretul pentru instalarea unei platforme gratuite (ca Joomla, WordPress sau Drupal) plus hosting plus continut pentru un stat roman economicos si atent cu banii publici.

Ma apuc sa caut stat “economicos” care sa investeasca juma de milion de euro intr-un WordPress personalizat.

PHP is not pretty, but it gets the thing done, and gets it done well.

si argumentul central al dezvoltarii in PHP ramane productivitatea – postul sau de aici o confirma printr-un experiment (de dragul amuzamentului) efectuat la o conferinta a dezvoltatorilor.

O echipa de programatori PHP, desi intrata mai tarziu in concurs, a rezolvat o problema (solutia unui labirint) intr-un timp scurt si cu un numar de linii de cod redus, concurand cu echipe de programatori Java, .NET, Oracle etc.

Rezultatele sunt de efect:

8680

1:26

7.1

Concluzia nestiintifica suna cam asa: cu PHP obtii rezultate de 2-3 ori mai repede decat in .NET si de vreo 4 ori mai repede decat in Oracle. Cu Java, se pare, nu prea obtii solutii – intrucat echipa Java nu a terminat aplicatia Iar, conform Buzzle, solutia .NET ar avea intre 50 si 95 de erori la cele 8600 de linii de cod scrise.

Totusi, din punct de vedere al performantei executiei si al incarcarii serverelor, PHP ramane un limbaj de dezvoltare (interpretat) nepotrivit rezolvarii algoritimilor complecsi care necesita calcule complexe  si tacti de procesor.

Si peste toate astea, cireasa de pe tort e lansarea HipHop for PHP – un transformator de cod PHP in cod C++ si compilat in executabil. In sfarsit, PHP poate fi utilizat si pentru scrierea de aplicatii server rapide si optimizate, si va trece, datorita FaceBook, de la nivelul de limbaj interpretat la cod compilat.

HipHop for PHP isn’t technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it.

Update: Parerea lui Lerdorf aici.

Doar o comparatie, dar mergand prin Azeroth atent la discutiile din ghilda: programarea in PHP (si in genere) e ca un MMORPG. E o analogie exagerata poate, dar fiti atenti: cam cat de bun e codul scris cand incepi sa programezi cu tutorialul PHP.net? Esti un noob, un paladin (nu mai stiu care e cea mai preferata clasa) de nivelul 1 cu o arma de lemn si speriat de porci/iepuri/critteri. Si insistand excesiv, un nou limbaj de programare e o misiune (quest) pentru obtinerea de puncte de experienta sau pentru dezvoltarea caracterului.

Unii dintre noi se level-uiesc incet, ucigand demonii siteurilor personale, paginilor de contact, blogurilor sau guestbook-urilor. Altii sar direct la nivelul 40 in companii maricele sau foarte active online si isi regasesc caracterele la graveyard pentru gatuieli de performata, brese de securitate sau lipsa de potiuni de mana (idei de dezvoltare). Fiecare dintre noi invata, la rate diferite si cu cicatricele de rigoare. Totusi, cei ce avanseaza mai usor sunt cei care invata de la jucatorii experimentati. Exista, la fel ca si in WoW, un spirit de noncombativitate care, cred, oglindeste comunitatea PHP.

PS: daca nu ai auzit de incidentul Corrupted Blood, recomand sa citesti despre el. E un experiment sociologic fantastic. Adica exista si-n comunitatea PHP-istilor destui plague spreaders.

Cand se intampla tragedia, cei ce nu folosesc PHP (python, java, C# etc.) ajung sa-l blameze. Daca nu ar fi fost inventat sau legal, servicii precum Yahoo!, Facebook, Wikipedia sau Digg nu ar fi existat.

1. Is the filename extention right? Should it be .php instead of .html?
2. You can get to the web site? Are you working in “off-line” mode?
3. Make sure CapsLock is off. (Same for ScrollLock and NumLock)
4. Is there a (invisible) CTRL-M at the end of each line in the text file?
5. Does the text file end with a newline?
6. Are both ends of the (power/network/video/etc.) cable plugged in?
7. Did you unplug and re-plug in the cable to make sure its in right?
8. Is the cable plugged into the right jack? (Some jacks look the same: AUI and video, Some Sun’s have a ‘stealth’ video jack that you aren’t supposed to use, etc.)
9. “Did you get permission to run crack against that password file?” … “Is it in writing?”
10. Is the user pressing RETURN when you think they are? (Are they pressing it at all?)
11. Is the user typing a “/” or a “\”?
12. Does the user know which is the lessthan and which is the greaterthan symbol?
13. Is the screen paused via Ctrl-S? (press CTRL-Q to find out)
14. Does your test gear test what you think it tests? What happens when you run the exact same test on a known-good and a known-bad element? Do you get the results you expect both ways?
15. Does plugging a lamp into that outlet make it light up? (If you use a radio, be careful of radios with battery backups)
16. Is the laptop running off battery? (therefore obscuring a power problem)
17. Use cut-and-paste to copy that variable name (or URL, commmand line, etc.) to see if it was entered correctly.
18. Check the file permissions.
19. Check the environment variables (Use “strings” on the binary to find out what they really are supposed to be).
20. It’s too easy to answer “yes” when asked, “Is it plugged in.” It’s better to ask them to power it off, then power it back on OR ask them to “check both ends of the power cable” OR ask them if the power light is on, off, or blinking. (and if it’s blinking… RUN!)
21. Type it again (without using cut-and-paste) and see if you get the same results. (good way to find a typo)
22. Is the default route set? Is the netmask set correctly?
23. Traceroute from A to B. Traceroute B to A. Do they match up?
24. Is someone else also at that IP address? (Unplug the network cable and ping the address)
25. Are you really on the host you think you are?
26. Is the program reading the last line of the file? Is it being processed right?
27. Are you doing the test from the right machine? Would the test be more effective from a different machine?
28. (firewall ruleset issues) If you move the machine to another IP address does it still happen? If you move the machine to a different subnet does it still happen? If you put a different machine at that IP address does it still happen? If you boot the same machine on a different OS (like a CD-ROM based Linux or FreeBSD) does it still happen?
29. Does the same thing happen when you specify the IP address instead of the hostname? (Hint: the lmhost or /etc/hosts may be overriding)
30. Is that a file, a directory, a hard link, a symbolic link, or a mountpoint?
31. http://www.psc.edu/~mathis/MTU/index.html: Six classes of bugs limit network performance.
    • packet losses, corruption, congestion, bad hardware
    • IP Routing, long round trip times
    • Packet reordering
    • Inappropriate buffer space
    • Inappropriate packet sizes
    • Inefficient applications

    Any one of these problems can hide all other problems:

32. Are the binaries really the ones you think are running? (Did you install in single user mode when /opt wasn’t mounted? Can you check the md5 or sha1 checksum vs. a machine that is running properly?)
33. Is DNS configured right? Misconfigured DNS masks other problems and appears as bizarre problems that will send you looking everywhere except /etc/resolv.conf
34. Is there a rogue DHCP server on the network messing with you?
35. Is the device driver you’re trying to install for the device you actually have?
36. Did you remember to check this list?

Peste putine nu am dat pana acum De aici.

Apoteotic:

• namespaces – despre care se discuta si  la care se lucreaza de cativa ani;
• late static binding – referinte spre clasa apelata in cazul mostenirilor statice;
• closures si functii lambda -functii anonime asemnatoare cu cele din JavaScript;
• infamul GOTO – unealta incompetentilor.
