web 2.0, frontend, ajax, flash, css, dhtml, php

In web application architecture, there is usually a file that has system configuration info.
In objective c development, there is a file called {name}.plist and it has some information regarding your application.

This is how you can get a specific information out of the file.


NSBundle *mainBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *myValue = [mainBundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"myVariable"];


There you have it!

At my work place, we use PHP and CodeSniffer hooked up in Jenkins.
I liked the fact that PSR-1 and PSR-2 are approved by the committee.
The PSR0 standard is found at:
https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md

The PSR1 standard is found at:
https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-1-basic-coding-standard.md

The PSR2 standard is found at:
https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md

The PSR3 standard is found at:
https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md

p.s. Kohana 3.3 has PSR-0 and the migration from 3.2 to 3.3 is quite tough for me. It requires a lot of refactoring on my side…

Right now I have jenkins to do automation build and static code analysis for php projects. However, I need to look into client side javascript automation unit test suites and selenium server to do client-side functional test.

This post will be a long history of what I am going through (will include steps with failures…)

1. I downloaded phantomjs-1.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 binary file from this page.

2. When I executed it, I got this error:
phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

3. So I installed libfreetype.so.6:
sudo yum install libfreetype.so.6

4. I still get the same phantomjs error, which says libfreetype.so.6 is not found.

5. Looks like the libfreetype.so.6 was installed on /usr/lib, which is for 32 bit software and phantomjs needs one for 64 bit system.

6. So I created symlinks and placed them in /usr/lib64/

7. I get different error message (progress made!):
phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

8. It turned out that I just needed to install freetype:
yum install freetype

9. Now another dependency issue:
libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

10. “yum install fontconfig”. that installed correct lib files.

11. Got it installed.

[xxxxx@localhost ~]$ phantomjs –version
1.7.0

UPDATE Dec 6, 2012
Found this blog post for Phantomjs and qunit.

Another very resourceful answers at stackoverflow regarding phantomjs, ant, and jenkins.

You remember when Yahoo gets ridiculed by bad presses due to low stock prices and they say Yahoo needs great products?

It seems like facebook is another one that gets ridiculed by them and people say facebook needs a big product that can get it back to where it stays above IPO price.

Funny how things are after IPO.

I see the resemblance of reddit in Yahoo news’ comments.
They get great amount of comments from so many users and similar to reddit’s.
It’s just my personal observation… that’s all.
