Why do people choose to start a project with PHP? Ever.(thebrainparasite.com)

submitted by UnicornNinja(465) 3 years, 9 months ago

I If you were going to create any type of serious program for the web, wouldn’t it make more sense to use a more robust language like Java or a .NET language? Yet, very large, very successful web applications are built on PHP (Wikipedia, Digg, Facebook, the list goes on…). New and innovative web applications are constantly being developed in PHP.

Creating great thumbnails in ASP.NET(thebrainparasite.com)

submitted by UnicornNinja(465) 4 years ago

The built in function for creating thumbnails in ASP.NET is extremely convenient and very simple to implement. The trouble is that it produces relatively poor quality results and excessively large file sizes. The thumbnails tend to look very muddy when using this route, but many times it's good enough for whatever your needs may be. read more...
