You can even start a job in a screen on another machine, detatch, travel somewhere else and re-attach to [...]

In search of an example how to implement a top-level exception handler in PHP I came across this nice site containing lots of well explained tutorials and articles: http://www.phpro.org
As projects get more complex, I came to use Subversion’s externals. This SVN property enables you to use more than one ‘checkout’ inside your architecture. For example if you are using Zend Framework as an external library, why make a ‘hard’ copy of it? It gets out of date very quickly, right? Externals allows you [...]
If profiling of applications is something you already heard of but never played with, here is what I learned from starting to dig into this topic: (1) Install XDebug (if dou do not already have it on your Dev-System). If not, please refert to the XDebug-Docs. The procedure is very well documented there. I used [...]

When starting to use XML-related technologies like XSL and XPath, the details and concepts can be intimidating in the first place.
