Summary of a talk given by a Frank Fischer, MS .NET evangelist, Microsoft Germany, to the audience at the International Paradox Convention held in Frankfurt in 2004. .NET, of course, but also the ugly truth about Access and Visual Foxpro (VFP).

Sometimes musicians do create themselves from art. Here is my account of one of these brief privileged moments.
Tonight, I played with the blues band as part of the monthly jazz session at Boby Lapointe, and thought I'd compare our workings with what the others were doing. After our small gig,...

Rasgueado is the well-known technique of flamenco guitar players. Because it sounds strong and can be impressive, one cannot but be tempted to try it on the bass.
However, the sound will typically lack the precision required for a non-solo bass part, especially if included in a slap or tap part...

Mambo CMS is an important Open Source CMS these days, and it is built on a complex data model. So I tried to abstract the main entities and model them in the form of an abused UML class diagram. Have a look.

Common knowledge says MSIE is still the top browser in terms of market share, Firefox a distant second, and all others mostly insignificant. Figures on this site say otherwise: is the Riff blog reader an unusual one ? Here are the data

The Code Navigation button in Dreamweaver allows developers to jump directly from function to function. Yet it is only available from the Code Inspector panel, not the main editor. Here is how to restore it.

hook_form is used both for adding new nodes and editing existing ones, and no parameter is passed to describe the current operation.
Why is it nod needed ? Because a simple test can show whether the node is being added or edited:
isset($node) && isset($node->nid)
If the test succeeds,...

The Dotclear blog tool used here provides RSS and Atom feeds for all of the content on the blog. One could, however, not be interested in computing if it is not Drupal, or on my computing experiences when looking for an article about playing the rasgueado on a bass guitar.
Luckily, Dotclear...

Most guitars and basses, especially in the lower and middle price ranges have "dead spots", places on the neck that don't sound as well as other places. Sometimes there's a cheaper fix than going out to buy a more expensive axe.

Taxonomy. That's what sets Drupal apart, and makes it so much more useful than many of its alternatives. But it's unduly intimidating at first: let's peek under the hood to see how to take advantage of it.

Some sites include a list of terms recently searched for. I've created a patch for Drupal adding this functionality to the current 4.6.x search module.

XML-RPC is a very simple RPC service, but it may not be obvious how to provide it from Drupal. Here's how.

Are you aware of what you're pasting from a browser's rendition of a page ?
by fgm
Ofttimes, when developing a site, you can be led to create or import a large number of custom nodes, for instance flexinodes, only to have to delete them later one. Doing it by hand in admin/content is inconvenient when the number of nodes is large, and for custom nodes like flexinodes, the exact entries to delete in the various Drupal tables may not be obvious. Time for a workaround.

Zend Studio is a convenient environment to code in PHP, which is why many Drupal developers are using it. But some settings are necessary to ease its use, due to the specific extensions Drupal uses.
