Microsoft warns Web site owners to prep for IE 8
Although Beta 2 of Internet Explorer (IE) 8 isn’t due out until some time in August, Microsoft is cautioning Web site owners now that they need to be prepping now for possible problems the new, more standards-compliant browser may cause.
As part of this week’s IE June Security Update for IE8 Beta 1, Microsoft introduced a new tag, “IE EmulateIE7″ — which it is counting on to head off some of the incompatibilities the company is anticipating could occur, based on feedback it received from IE 8 Beta 1 testers.
Bon courage à tous les développeurs web !

Integrate your PHP application with Google Calendar

This article introduces the Google Calendar Data API, demonstrates how you can use it to browse user-generated calendars; add and update calendar events; and perform keyword searches.

Firefox tools to help web application testing and development
by 1 otherThere has been several blogs that lists the best Firefox extensions that are out there. Since Pingdom are operating in the web performance and monitoring field we decided to make our own list of valuable Firefox extensions.
In this list we don’t cover the well known extensions such as Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug but rather focused on “lesser known” ones that can help development and testing. Extensions that deal with HTML, CSS, SEO and design were also ignored since other blogs have already made good lists of these kinds of tools.
Let’s get on to the list.

(via)Starting with symfony 1.1, it is now possible to easily use Propel 1.3 in your project to take advantage of its speed improvements, nested set implementation, object instance pooling, among others. Most importantly, Propel 1.3 uses PDO instead of Creole as the DBAL, offering a significant performance boost.

But the latter often fit awkwardly into the document-centric interface of web browsers. And they are surrounded with controls–like back and forward buttons and a location bar–that have nothing to do with interacting with the application itself.

Comment bien gérer la montée en charge d’une application web ?
Certaines personnes pensent qu’il ne faut pas trop se focaliser sur les problèmes de montée en charge lorsqu’on démarre le développement d’un nouveau service Internet. A quelques exceptions près (comme par exemple un site de partage de vidéos), il n’est peut-être pas en effet très judicieux de perdre du temps sur cet aspect très technique sans savoir si le succès sera au rendez-vous : on parle alors d’optimisation prématurée.
A small symfony for a fast response
Sometimes, the price of a request when dealing with a symfony application can be overwhelming. But instead of getting back to spaghetti PHP, maybe you can get a handful of symfony features for a share of its initialization time.
