Yesterday I’ve been at the PHPDay 2007 in Verona with my Nimboo friend Giovanni Intini, during the travel to Verona on the train, we played with Erlang, Ruby and PHP writing small programs to compute Pythagorean triplets and comparing performances.
I don’t want to tell you yet who’s the winner, you will find the results of our tests in Giovanni’s blog.

Update: the battle continues here.

I just received an awesome news from my manager. Two of the most important Yahoo’s platform tools have been published to the Open Source world for your pleasure:

• r3 allows developers of web applications to customize and translate their UI for different languages, markets and uses. It allows developers to modify existing functionality and add new plug-ins via the Stickleback extension engine.
• Stickleback is a general purpose plug-in framework. It ships with tools that allow developers to build and extend PHP command-line and gui applications. It forms the basis of ‘r3′, a web app customization and localization engine.

That’s all for now! More infos to come soon!

I’m excited, I will give a talk on the PHP usage at Yahoo at the upcoming PHP Day 2007 on the 18th May in Verona.

The GrUSP (Php Italian users and developers group) is pleased to announce the 4th edition of PHP Day. An event totally dedicated to php language is going to be held on Friday 18 May 2007 in Verona (Italy).

During the meeting there will be talks on the professional use of php language (Enterprise path) and more technical conferences (Developer path).
