Sublime text 2 editor is cool!
by ramden on May 16, 2012
A recent discovery : Sublime Text 2. A common hobby of mine is to investigate and search out for good editors – good tools->good workflow->good results. After trying Zend Studio, Eclipse, Notepad++, PHP Storm and various other IDE’s I came up to sublime.
In fact, the first impression was : another e-text editor imitating macs textmate, but then, after a little try this, try that….its simply cool.
Cygwin – the missing terminal on windows
by ramden on May 14, 2012
One thing that surely is missed on windows is a good terminal. The ideal solution would be to have the power of a Linux terminal in an windows environment. You actually can with cygwin.
This is one of my favorite tools. My options during install always include git, openssh client and vim editor.
But what can it be used for? I use it for common tasks as for:

ISPConfig 3 – a free and simple cpanel replacement
by ramden on May 13, 2012
Recently I setup some vhost server with ISPConfig 3. Although the interface is not so much “pimped up” like in cpanel or plesk, its a nice suprise what an open source project can provide.
Wunderkit is out!
by ramden on February 27, 2012
From the creators of wunderlist here comes wunderkit. The early bugs are gone from the system and now its pretty slick. You can use it for task management, but also I need to mention, the collaboration features are also very good. In fact you can collaborate with a small team very effectively by assigning tasks to them and commenting tasks. The only thing missing right now would be some git/github integration to make this even more productive.

Solarized – good for the eye
by ramden on February 27, 2012
A common thing developers have could be editor appearance. First everybody starts with the white screen and black text. Causally this changes over time because darker themes are better for the eye as the eye can relax more to darker backgrounds. A nice set of themes for the major development editors can be found on solarized. Check it out and feel free to share your thoughts.

Fuelphp and twitter bootstrap
by ramden on January 7, 2012
The numbers of php frameworks immitating rails ideas of mvc grow steadily.Kohana, cakephp zend…and many more. Fuelphp has 2 main benifits from my view over the others:
- Community : almost every question on their irc channel asked was answered
- oil command line : in every framework I missed the rails way of doing migrations, model controller generations from the command line
Fuel has also lots of other advantages you can discover youself on fuelphp.org. Last time I checked fuel out (1.1) they include twitter bootstrap by default which is very nice and minimal layout, prefect for some fast crud guis like data entry etc.
Very nice fuelers. keep on with the good work
Html5 boilerplate, a very intuitive framework
by ramden on December 18, 2011
One thing in web development is as crucial as the development, the web.
Html5 boilerplate added something very elegant, the build script. You can check it out on this page. It is used for two main purposes
- Make your whole site rank A in pagespeed tests
- Use it as an starting point for new html5 boilerplate based projects
Web & desktop developer. I like to think of me as all-rounder in various topics. Other passions : my yamaha P95S and my family
