Don't Say Geek! Say Syntux!

I have always been jealous of RoR but I did not to switch and kill my passion to PHP at the same time there was no PHP framework that satisfy my needs to RAD so I stopped looking until recently I was introduce to Symfony Framework but didn’t had the time to dig much into it as I’m not full time programmer anymore but I kept an eye on it and kept digging it as a Todo.

Couple of days ago I got The Definitive Guide to Symfony and unlike many other technical books it’s authored by the author of the framework and the framework documenter which is a great plus when buying a technical book.

If you are not used to MVC frameworks then you should understand that learning curve in Symfony is a pain that worth going through and it will heal any pain you used to get when developing without a framework, nevertheless the guide book makes it way easier, the book is well written in an easy language

I will keep you update as I’m reading the book.

Couple of days a friend of mine asked me to recommend a Linux distribution that would play nicely with his old laptop so as usual I recommended Ubuntu to him but I told him to wait couple of days until they release Feisty and that because he have 256 ADSL line but now with this tip he can get it now and sync it later!

Thanks to ubuntu blog for their nice tips and tricks.

UPDATE: Ok, Ubuntu blog removed that post because excessive load caused by rsyncing users would kill the rsync server
