PHP Magazin: Marketing Open Source PHP Applications

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:03:02 -0500

Sandro Groganz has pointed out a new article in the latest issue of the German publication PHP Magazin about marketing open source PHP software titled "Auf die offene Art".

Good source doesn't always speak for itself because the better product does not always establish itself without help. Why is that? This article gives some answers as to how a PHP-based product can be presented well in the market with the right marketing and community as a PHP based product well in the market can be placed through appropriate marketing and communication palatable to potential customers.

You can get your copy of this latest issue (German only) from the PHP Magazin website (with a cover story looking at the DojoX framework).

Sebastian Bergmann's Blog: German Article on PHPUnit 3

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 08:29:00 -0500

Sebastian Bergamnn points out an article he's written in the latest issue of the German publication "PHP Magazin" covering PHPUnit3 (cover story, no less).

PHP has grown from a niche language where one could only originally add a bit of dynamic functionality to a page to a powerful tool, which is being used more and more in the development of business-critical applications. This enterprise level of business logic has to work correctly all of the time, so how do you guarantee it will? Through testing, of course.

Sebastian covers some of the contents of the article, including what unit testing is, how to write some sample tests, and brief looks at things like code coverage, mock objects, and PHPUnit's integration with Selenium RC.
