Chris Anderson’s new book on Free continues to get press. I noted it here when Malcolm Gladwell wrote about it for the New Yorker. This is about the 6th time I’ve seen it reviewed or referenced in the last month.
A nice overview of the concepts behind user/account/identity/role modeling in applications.
I liked this quote in particular:
The wave of open data continues to roll. The National Public Radio API has been out for awhile, but the man responsible is talking next week at OSCON. He gives an interview as a preview.
Just stumbled across this talk today.
Dumb. And bad.
PHP requires that you change your HTML to indicate that an input value in a form expects multiple values. That means, your HTML needs to know what your server-side architecture is coded in.
Dumb. And bad.
Example:
<input name="foo" value="123" /> <input name="foo" value="456" />
That code above won’t work in a POST to a .php script because one of the values for ‘foo’ will be dropped. Instead, you have to code your html like:
<input name="foo[]" value="123" /> <input name="foo[]" value="456" />
with that extra little [] bracket pair. That’s just Wrong. And bad. My HTML shouldn’t care what the server side language is. HTTP is HTTP. HTML is HTML. It’s agnostic. Unless your scripting language is broken. Like PHP is.
